Founded by Robert Toppel, Electron Robotics aims to help the manufacturing industry by offering affordable and flexible robotics solutions. With a focus on aerospace components and years of experience in U.S. manufacturing, the company understands the growing need for automation due to the decreasing labor force. Our goal is to support and lead American manufacturing. Our first major customer and technology partner, Cibao Meats Inc., has shown a need for adaptable AI manufacturing in the food industry.
