About
A Michigan company that stands behind every robot it sells.
TPML Automation, Inc. is a Michigan corporation based in Comstock Park. We’re the authorized US reseller of ROKAE Robotics. We sell robots through certified systems integrators who build the cells, and our standard cobot palletizing package direct as well.
The ROKAE relationship
ROKAE designs and manufactures the robots at its own plant in Shandong, China. We import them, sell them through certified integrators (and the palletizing package direct as well) and support them here. ROKAE is a public company, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (3752.HK) since July 2026, and reports more than 1,000 customers in over 40 countries.
It’s a reseller relationship. The two companies are independent, with no partnership, joint venture or agency between us, and neither can bind the other. When a problem needs the people who designed the arm, we take it to ROKAE engineering and carry it ourselves.
Why we exist
Good hardware isn’t enough to succeed in a new market. An integrator who puts a new brand in front of a customer needs parts close by, clear documentation and someone in their own time zone who knows the controller. That’s a staffing and supply chain problem more than a marketing one, and it’s the one we’re built to solve.
The TPML family
TPML Automation is part of the TPML family of companies. For 30 years TPML has managed international sourcing and supply chains for manufacturers and consulted with them on management and process improvement. TPML Automation puts that experience behind a robot line.
