ABB has expanded its robot technology range with the release of the new IRB120T, a variant of the IRB120. While keeping its trademark compact, agile and lightweight features, the new six-axis variant delivers a substantial increase in the maximum speeds of axis 4, 5 and 6, resulting in cycle time improvements of up to 25 per cent.

This agile and ultra-fast robot also provides industry benchmark accuracy with a repeatability of 0.01mm. It can also be mounted at any angle, either in a cell, on top of a machine or close to other robots on the manufacturing line.

The robot comes with the ABB IRC5 Compact control, including superior path motion, user friendly FlexPendant programming, RobotStudio offline programming, flexible RAPID language and powerful communication capabilities.

The new robot and the IRC5 controller are fully supported by the ABB Robotics’ global sales and service organisation in 53 countries and over 100 locations.

Food & Drink Business

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.

From the big deals to the quiet divestments, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, recounts the mergers and acquisitions of 2025.
