Swisslog integrates automation acquisitions
FORTE and Power Automation Systems (PAS) will come together to join Swisslog Warehouse and Distribution Solutions (WDS) under a single brand name.
Effective from January 4, 2017 FORTE and PAS, will join Swisslog WDS Americas under a single brand name and corporate structure.
Swisslog WDS Americas will continue to be headquartered in Newport News, VA and will now have a Midwest office at the former FORTE headquarters in Mason, OH and West Coast office at the former PAS headquarters in Salida, CA.
Swisslog acquired FORTE Industries in April 2015 and has operated the company as a separate business unit focused on consulting, systems integration and warehouse execution software for companies primarily in the e-commerce and multi-channel retail segments.
The acquisition of PAS was announced in April 2016 and was immediately integrated with Swisslog.
