Your Transantlantic Full Service Provider for Component Suppliers

Component manufacturers, software providers, and system suppliers are a critical pillar of the special-purpose machinery and automation ecosystem. Yet in an increasingly fast-moving global market, they face growing challenges: gaining visibility in target regions, demonstrating products in the right application context, delivering required training, and scaling technologies internationally—quickly and at customer-specific price points.

Speed has become the decisive competitive advantage, and every barrier that slows down sales must be eliminated. This is exactly where UAH comes in. With a strong focus on Europe and North America, we enable suppliers to accelerate market access and growth through physical automation hubs, a digital B2B vendor marketplace, and shared sales and service models—ensuring not only visibility and scalability, but also local support where customers expect it.

Your challenges

We Understand Your Challenges. And We Solve Them.

Expanding your business on a global scale comes with significant challenges. We understand the pain you face every single day.

Markets are accelerating fast—but international expansion on your own is a losing strategy.

Tariffs are killing margins. Local manufacturing is the answer—but doing it alone is simply not affordable..

You need a local presence to win deals, but can only afford it on scale which takes years.

Loosing in service close by means loosing existing customers.

Entering new markets is key to growth—but local sales teams are unaffordable. How do you generate qualified leads?

You may have great solutions—but if customers can’t see or test them, they won’t buy.

Local UAH Sales Engineers with deep industry networks position your solutions with the right decision-makers and route a fixed amount of qualified leads directly to your team every month.

Shared Services

Shared Manufacturing localy for component suppliers

Rising tariffs and dynamic global markets are making cross-border supply chains increasingly unprofitable. Local manufacturing in regions like North America has become essential—but for most companies, building it independently is neither scalable nor economical.

High labor and facility costs, missing local supply chains, lack of guaranteed volumes, and significant upfront investments quickly turn local production into a financial risk.

UAH Shared Manufacturing eliminates these barriers. Through our established North American hubs and long-standing local sourcing network for mechanical, electrical, and purchased components, we enable immediate, profitable local manufacturing—even at low volumes.

Based on the customer’s bill of materials, we define the optimal supply chain strategy and take full responsibility for sourcing, assembly, quality assurance, and commissioning. Electrical components can also be manufactured locally according to modern EMS standards and integrated directly into the final product.

Our transparent cost model ensures instant profitability: a manufacturing base fee linked to required assembly and storage space, combined with a fixed price per component or product. This structure makes production fully scalable and predictable from day one.

Integrated with UAH Shared Sales and UAH Shared Services, we also cover market access, field service, returns, and lifecycle support.

The result: local manufacturing without CapEx upfront investment, operational complexity, or risk—fully scalable and profitable from the first unit.

Business Camparison

Own Location Abroad

Increasing demand for local service

Since COVID-19, customer expectations in the US and worldwide for immediate, high-quality local service or even local manufacturing have risen sharply. Reliable local support has become a MUST for winning and retaining customers.

High costs for service centers in the USA

Operating a service or manufacturing center with a five-person team and adequate infrastructure in the US costs between $600,000 and $700,000 per year. To cover these costs, an annual sales volume worth 7–8 figure million dollars in annual revenue is required to break even.

The “chicken and egg” problem

Operating a manufacturing or service center abroad in the US or EU with a five-person team and adequate infrastructure costs $600,000–$700,000 per year. To break even, companies need machine deliveries worth several million dollars annually. This creates a dilemma: without service or local manufacturing, sales are difficult — but without sufficient sales, investing in service is hard to justify.

High employee turnover

In the US, high turnover rates in technical professions hamper service quality and increase personnel and training costs. Currently, the turnover rate in technical fields is around 30%–40%

The geographical size of the USA

The US is almost 27 times larger than Germany, which poses significant challenges for companies trying to cover such a large area efficiently.

UAH Connect & Orbit

UAH Connect & Orbit You're competitive advantage for growth

In industrial automation, technology alone is no longer enough—visibility and access decide who wins. ​That gap slows growth and creates risk long before any machine is delivered.​​

UAH Connect solves that. As a dedicated B2B vendor marketplace for machine builders and automation suppliers, we make it effortless for producers to find the best solution partners based on technology, regional presence, proven project execution, and available service capacity—not trade shows or coincidence.​​

Every machine builder can create an account in under 24 hours, list solutions and reference projects, and generate measurable visibility in the U.S. and European markets. ​

And with more than 60% of component manufacturers still operating without a webshop, UAH Connect gives them a place to be discovered—already joined by leading brands like Festo, KUKA, and others.​

All commercial and operational processes run through ORBIT—our central software platform that manages contracts, Shared Sales, Shared Service agreements, customer data, payments, and project transparency in one unified system.​​

The result: faster market entry, higher lead quality, stronger risk management, and profitable visibility—without needing your own global infrastructure.

Features of UAH Connect & Orbit

UAH Connect is our vendor marketplace, bringing together qualified automation partners, services, and solutions in one centralized ecosystem. Powered by Orbit as the operational backbone, all contracts, administration, and supporting tools are managed in a single, structured platform—ensuring transparency, efficiency, and seamless execution across the entire value chain.

In 2026, the robotics and industrial automation market is projected at around USD 15 billion in Germany and roughly USD 50 billion in the United States, so even if you generate USD 50 million in annual revenue, your share of this combined USD 65 billion market is only about 0.08%.​​

Your biggest problem is not the quality of your machines – it’s visibility. Most ofyour potential buyers who actually need your solutions simply haven’t heard of you yet, and with traditional sales and marketing methods, global scale becomes prohibitively expensive.

You don’t just need a better product – you need a platform that makes you found

On UAH Connect, machine builders and component suppliers manage everything independently: create a full marketplace profile in under 24 hours, customize offerings by target region, track real-time analytics on who views which products, and transparently monitor demand for complex, high-investment solutions.

​​This is why leading component manufacturers such as Festo and KUKA, and successful mid-sized innovators like Altratecc Automation, SIM Automation, IFSYS, and Jenny Science, have already joined — unlocking massive cross-sales exposure and dramatically higher visibility across global automation buyers

Sales channels are getting more expensive every year, top sales talent is harder to keep, and traditional selling models are collapsing under rising costs and rising churn.

​​And here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: Google is not your friend in industrial automation.

​​Go ahead — try to find your own company without typing your name. Search only by the technology you build or the problem you solve.

See where you appear.You won’t.​

That’s exactly why leading companies signed UAH Connect immediately — because they understand that visibility is the real problem, not engineering.Try it yourself — then thank us later.

With UAH Connect AI Agents, you no longer wait months or years until new salespeople understand complex systems. ​

Train an AI Agent in under two hours, using your existing product knowledge — and it explains your solutions in any language, any time, anywhere, exactly like your top expert would.​​

Powered by the UAH Connect platform, it answers technical questions, recommends configurations, and provides data sheets in context — giving customers clarity instantly and preventing lost deals due to unavailable expertise.Scale knowledge, not headcount.

UAH Shared Sales

Sales should never be a cost center,​they should multiply your revenue.

Begin your custom Project Inquiry

In automation & robotics everything begins locally — complex systems engineered and built at a single site — but true success depends on flawless integration across the world. ​

With the United States and Europe among the most critical automation markets, we’ve established dedicated hubs in both regions to support your integration, commissioning, software, and ongoing after-sales needs exactly where they matter most.​​

Your end customers expect service from day one — long before your installed base can support it profitably. That’s a trap every machine builder knows too well. ​

Our global service infrastructure solves it: giving you local presence without local overhead, access to world-class automation specialists, and the confidence to enter new markets without risking your margins.​​

With flexible Service Level Agreements and fully scalable teams, we help you deliver superior technology worldwide — while growing faster, more profitably, and with zero compromise on performance.​
