Swisslog acquires US automation specialist
Swisslog Warehouse and Distribution Solutions has bought pallet shuttle automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) supplier Power Automation Systems (PAS).
Christian Baur, Swisslog CEO of Warehouse and Distribution Solutions said: “The acquisition of PAS allows Swisslog to expand our product portfolio and offerings with focus to the North American and APAC markets. As the leader in logistics automation, our goal was to offer our clients a new dimension of speed and storage density for pallet warehouses that handle a confined number of SKUs with high volume, not only in the green field, but also for existing buildings.”
Headquartered in Lathrop, CA, the PAS office will immediately serve as the Swisslog Americas West Coast location. In addition, the acquisition is designed to further develop and expand Swisslog’s reach in North America, South America, Asia, and Australia toward end of production line ASRS applications for fast moving goods with a maximum degree of customer satisfaction.
