NEURA Robotics announced its acquisition of AGV and AMR systems provider ek robotics. Terms of the acquisition were undisclosed.
NEURA Robotics, a manufacturer of cognitive robots, announced that it has acquired ek robotics, a German-based company specializing in driverless transport systems such as AGVs and AMRs.
NEURA said the acquisition results in a gain of over 300 employees, more than 60 years of experience and a strong customer base from ek robotics. NEURA added that the move also significantly expands its expertise in the field of mobile robotics.
NEURA laid out the following elements of the acquisition, and how it combines the strengths of both companies for further growth and technological development:
While ek robotics has previously had a strong presence primarily in Europe, NEURA said its global sales network opens new market opportunities for the AGV provider.
NEURA said its own locations in China and the U.S., as well as close industry partnerships, create the basis for accelerating joint growth in the long term.
With this acquisition, NEURA said it is also taking a major step toward global market leadership. The company stated that by combining its innovative strength, scaling capabilities and unique platform strategy with ek robotics’ expertise, experience and market presence, NEURA and ek are well-positioned for growth.
“The acquisition of ek robotics is much more than an acquisition: it is the dawn of a new dimension in mobile robotics,” said David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics. “Together, we will combine existing strengths with our platform, bring innovations to market faster, and create a global offering that sets new standards. We not only want to continue ek robotics’ products but also make them the global benchmark again with new energy and new ideas. This is a win for customers, for our partners, and for all employees. At the same time, it is a strong signal that Germany and Europe have the ambition to be at the forefront of this largest market of the future.”
