PushCorp is a manufacturer of robotic material removal equipment, specializing in force compliance devices, servo spindles, and end-of-arm tooling for automating processes like grinding, sanding, deburring, and welding.[1][2][3] Founded in 1993, the company serves robotic systems integrators and manufacturers, primarily in the automotive and aerospace industries, solving challenges in repetitive, dangerous manual surface finishing tasks by delivering consistent, high-quality results with enhanced safety and efficiency.[1][2][3] With over 30 years of experience, PushCorp emphasizes durable, in-house manufactured products—95% of components machined in Texas—and was recently acquired by WALTER Surface Technologies to bolster metalworking solutions.[1][2]
The company targets small shops entering robotics and large-scale manufacturers seeking throughput gains, providing application-focused tooling that simplifies automation.[3][5] Its growth includes a robust portfolio of 16 products, global adoption in thousands of robotic processes, and upcoming participation in the Robotic Grinding and Finishing Conference in July 2025.[1]
PushCorp was established in 1993 in Garland, Texas, as a specialist in material removal equipment, quickly distinguishing itself by inventing the force compliance device—a breakthrough that enabled precise automation of robotic surface finishing.[1][2] Operating from its headquarters at 3001 West Kingsley Road, the company has maintained a focus on innovation, annually expanding its portfolio while prioritizing in-house manufacturing for quality and durability demanded by automotive and aerospace clients.[1]
Key milestones include over 30 years of supplying tools for thousands of global robotic applications and a pivotal acquisition by WALTER Surface Technologies, which integrates PushCorp's robotic force control expertise into broader high-performance metalworking capabilities.[2] This evolution from inventor to acquired leader underscores its trajectory in industrial automation.[2]
PushCorp stands out in robotic automation through these key strengths:
PushCorp rides the wave of industrial robotics and automation trends, particularly in material removal and surface finishing, where labor shortages, safety demands, and precision needs drive adoption in manufacturing.[1][3] Its timing aligns with surging automation in automotive and aerospace, fueled by market forces like supply chain resilience, rising labor costs, and Industry 4.0 integration of AI-enhanced robotics.[2]
By enabling thousands of global processes, PushCorp influences the ecosystem as a key enabler for integrators and end-users, reducing manual intervention in hazardous tasks and boosting throughput—amplified post-acquisition by WALTER for wider metalworking reach.[1][2][5] This positions it amid growing robotic grinding/finishing markets, as evidenced by its 2025 conference presence.[1]
PushCorp's trajectory points to expanded dominance in robotic compliance, leveraging its acquisition for integrated solutions in metalworking and beyond.[2] Trends like AI-driven robotics, sustainable manufacturing, and aerospace electrification will shape its path, demanding even more adaptive tooling.[1][3] Expect deeper ecosystem influence through scaled demos, new products, and partnerships, solidifying its role from force compliance inventor to automation powerhouse—primed for the next wave of industrial efficiency.[5]
Push Corp has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in September 2013.
