Switzterland's ABB Ltd. (ABBN.EB) over the weekend said that it will build a robotics factory in Shanghai, representing an investment of $150 million.

The factory, in which "robots will make robots," will begin operating by the end of 2020, the company said. It will be located close to ABB's China robotics campus.

China is the world's largest robotics market, buying one out of every three robots sold in 2017, according to ABB.
