The London-based Shadow Robot Company has moved the majority of its production to Spain, as it seeks to retain access to the single market, according to Luke Mintz, the firm's MD. The company, which makes robotic hands and graspers, has opened a new base in Madrid as part of an expansion programme, but will keep its head office and core research and development team in London. Shadow is one of the longest-running robotics companies in the UK, employing 30 staff worldwide, including eight overseas.
