Samsung invests in Alva Industries to support accelerated scaling

The investment marks a strategic step in Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ long-term commitment to robotics and humanoids, while supporting Alva’s accelerated scaling as an independent global supplier of market-leading electric motors.

The robotics industry is entering a new era of rapid growth, with new generations of robots requiring actuation systems that are smaller, lighter, and more precise. Motor performance - especially torque density, control accuracy, and compact form factor - is becoming a defining factor for what robots can do in real-world environments and how quickly they can be adopted.

Alva addresses this challenge with their patented FiberPrinting manufacturing technology, enabling exceptionally compact and lightweight motors that maintain high torque density, efficiency, and control precision. These characteristics are critical for applications like robotics, where minimal volume, maximum force, and predictable control are essential. As a result, Alva Industries is rapidly gaining recognition as a trusted supplier to the world’s most ambitious robotics innovators.

Through this investment, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is strengthening access to a leading motor technology that complements its growing robotics ambitions within areas such as robotic hands and humanoid platforms.  The companies will collaborate on advancing actuation solutions for robotics, combining Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ system expertise and global scale with Alva’s breakthroughs in motor design and manufacturing.  

"We see Alva as one of the most promising motor technology companies in the robotics ecosystem. Alva’s FiberPrinting technology is a key competitive asset for next-generation robotic actuators, opening new possibilities in motor performance and design. This investment gives us access to an important technological foundation for our future robotics and humanoid business, and we look forward to exploring new market opportunities together with Alva," said Samsung Electro-Mechanics CEO Duckhyun Chang. 

"Samsung’s investment is a strong endorsement of Alva’s technology and team," stated Oliver Skisland, CEO of Alva. "We see significant potential in this collaboration, without it limiting our work with existing or future customers. We are on a mission to power a new generation of robots that are stronger, safer, and more reliable."

The investment will be used to scale manufacturing capacity and expand product offering to deepen Alva’s existing and new engagements with leading robotics developers worldwide.
