FANUC is the world's leading pure-play industrial robotics manufacturer by revenue ($7.2 billion in 2025), posting record fiscal year 2026 (ended March 2026) net sales of JPY857 billion, up 8% year-over-year, with operating margin improving 150 basis points to 21.4% on strong factory automation demand in China and the Americas amid persistent labor shortages. FANUC is partnering with NVIDIA, training its robots on NVIDIA's Isaac Sim physical-AI simulation platform to sharply cut the downtime required to reprogram factory production lines, part of a broader industry shift NVIDIA's CEO has described as "every industrial company will become a robotics company."
