Ed Summers

Ed Summers is the owner of Aces Robotics in Toronto, where he manages a 64,000-square-foot showroom filled with over 300 used robotic machines, primarily from Japanese manufacturers. His business is thriving due to a combination of a backlog for new machines and a shortage of skilled labor, making robots an attractive investment for manufacturers. Summers emphasizes the cost-effectiveness and longevity of older robots, often repurposed from scrap, and plans to expand his operations into the U.S. market.
