Samsung Electro-Mechanics, a global industry expert in electronic components, system integration, and advanced manufacturing technologies, has made a multimillion-euro investment in Alva Industries to support the scaling of advanced electric motor technologies for robotics applications.
The investment was made through Samsung Ventures (SVIC Fund No. 47), reflecting Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ long-term commitment to robotics and humanoid platforms and enabling Alva Industries to accelerate its scale as an independent global supplier of high-performance electric motors. The funding will be used to expand manufacturing capacity and broaden Alva’s product offering to support existing and new engagements with robotics developers worldwide.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has invested in Alva Industries to support the scaling of compact, high-performance electric motors for robotics applications.
The robotics industry is entering a period of rapid growth, with emerging applications requiring actuation systems that are smaller, lighter, and more precise. Motor performance parameters—particularly torque density, control accuracy, and compact form factor—are increasingly critical in determining how robots perform in real-world environments and how quickly they can be adopted at scale.
Alva Industries addresses these requirements with its patented FiberPrinting™ manufacturing technology, which enables compact, lightweight motor designs while maintaining high torque density, efficiency, and control precision. These characteristics are especially relevant for robotics applications where minimal volume, predictable motion, and high force output are essential.
Through the investment, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is strengthening access to advanced motor technologies that complement its expanding robotics initiatives, including robotic hands and humanoid platforms. The two companies plan to collaborate to advance robotics actuation by combining Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ system-level expertise and global manufacturing scale with Alva’s motor design and manufacturing innovations.
“We see Alva as one of the most promising motor technology companies in the robotics ecosystem. Alva’s FiberPrinting technology is a key competitive asset for next-generation robotic actuators, opening new possibilities in motor performance and design. This investment gives us access to an important technological foundation for our future robotics and humanoid business, and we look forward to exploring new market opportunities together with Alva,” said Duckhyun Chang, CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics.
“Samsung’s investment is a strong endorsement of Alva’s technology and team,” says Oliver Skisland, CEO of Alva. “We see significant potential in this collaboration, without it limiting our work with existing or future customers. We are on a mission to power a new generation of robots that are stronger, safer, and more reliable.”
