By purchasing EVOmatic Engineering Solutions GmbH, Swisslog strengthens its capabilities in the area of light goods logistics.
EVOmatic, based in Thalheim near Wels (Austria), specialises in innovative automated technologies such as miniload cranes, load handling devices or shuttle systems. “The material handling technologies of EVOmatic will bolster Swisslog’s competitiveness in the area of light goods logistics. The acquisition is part of our strategy of expanding the solutions portfolio in high-growth business areas,” says Daniel Fink, Head of Swisslog’s Warehouse & Distribution Solutions division.
EVOmatic is a small start-up engineering company founded in 2003, which draws on thorough experience in developing successful logistics technologies.
