ZURICH (Reuters) - Robots will make robots in a new ABB (ABBN.S) factory in China, which the Swiss engineering group said on Saturday that plans to build for $ 150 million in Shanghai, as it defends its place as the largest manufacturer of industrial robots in the country. 

The factory, located near ABB's China robotics campus, will be operating by the end of 2020 and will produce robots for China and for export to other parts of Asia. China is the second ABB market after the United States. 

"Shanghai has become a vital center for advanced technology leadership, for ABB and for the world," ABB Chief Executive Ulrich Spiesshofer said in a statement announcing the project.  

With the expansion, ABB is betting on sales of Chinese robots that defy concerns about commercial tensions with the United States that some fear could affect the demand for electronic products, auto parts and other items that require automated manufacturing and robots. 

China is expanding its robot workforce, as the wages of human workers increase and the country seeks to compete with lower cost countries through greater automation. In 2017, one of every three robots sold in the world went to China, which bought about 138,000 units, said ABB. 

ABB's new 75,000-square-foot factory will use software to allow people and robots to work safely in the vicinity, the company said, adding that its YuMi robots, designed to work side by side with people, they will also be implemented in many of the assembly tasks of small parts needed to manufacture an ABB robot. 

Rival kukaKU2G.DE), assumed in 2016 by Midea of ​​China (000333.SZTwo years ago, it has also expanded in the country, including through the construction of a robot park in Shunde, near Hong Kong.  

ABB, whose industrial robots are used, among other things, to make cars and assemble electronic devices, will build robots for many industries at the Shanghai factory, a spokesman said.  

He did not give a new employee count for the factory, but said he will boost robotics employment now found in more than 2,000 ABB workers in China.
