Neura Robotics Establishes €45 Million Subsidiary in China, Signaling Major Supply Chain Move
German cognitive robotics company Neura Robotics has quietly established a significant new entity in Hangzhou, China, a move that signals a deep strategic investment in the country's vast robotics supply chain and ecosystem. While the company has yet to make an official announcement, details surfaced through China's corporate information platform, Qichacha.
Public records show that Neura Robotics (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (纽珞机器人（杭州）有限公司) was officially registered on September 26, 2025. The subsidiary is founded with a substantial registered capital of €45 million and is wholly owned by the German parent company, Neura Robotics GmbH. Underscoring the strategic importance of the venture, Neura Robotics' founder and CEO, David Reger, is listed as the new entity's legal representative, manager, and director.

The decision to establish a physical presence in Hangzhou places Neura in a major Chinese technology and manufacturing hub. The city is home to giants like Alibaba Group and a growing cluster of innovative robotics companies, including Unitree Robotics and DEEP Robotics. This proximity positions Neura to leverage the highly developed industrial capabilities of the Yangtze River Delta region, which has become a critical nexus for the global robotics supply chain.
This development aligns with a broader industry trend where Western robotics firms are increasingly integrating Chinese manufacturing and component sourcing into their strategies. For Neura Robotics, which has an ambitious order book reportedly valued at $1 billion and is focused on the mass production and delivery of its 4NE-1 humanoid robot, a direct presence in China is a logical and potentially crucial step. The move provides direct access to suppliers and manufacturing partners, which is essential for scaling production and meeting global demand.
Neura's strategy appears to be twofold: collaborating with the global supply chain while establishing a strong local market presence. This allows the company not only to optimize its production pipeline for customers worldwide but also to compete directly within China's rapidly expanding market for intelligent automation. The move is particularly timely, as Neura is working to fulfill major orders, such as a previously announced partnership with Hyundai Shipyards to deploy the 4NE-1 in industrial welding operations.
The establishment of the Hangzhou office is a clear, tangible step in Neura's plan to evolve from a European startup into a global player in the competitive humanoid robotics race. While the company has remained silent on the matter, the €45 million investment speaks volumes about its commitment to building a resilient, globally-distributed manufacturing and supply chain strategy.
