Interroll acquires sortation solution provider
The leader in unit flow solutions has acquired Netherlands-based startup Sortteq BV. The purchase price is undisclosed.
SORTTEQ HAS developed a highly modular Chain-Belt Sorter (CBS) that complements and expands Interroll’s existing Sorter platform.
This strategic acquisition initiates a close collaboration between Interroll and the two Sortteq founders, who will continue contributing their technical expertise as consultants.
Their focus will be on advancing development and supporting the industrialisation of the chain belt sorter within Interroll’s global operations.
Sortteq’s modular technology enables new system configurations and expands throughput ranges, especially in parcel, postal, and e-commerce logistics.
Its flagship Chain-Belt Sorter (CBS) features a space-efficient design capable of handling up to 10,000 parcels per hour.
Interroll Group CEO Markus Asch, says: “This acquisition is about delivering even more value to our customers. With Sortteq’s modular sortation technology and Interroll’s proven product and solutions platforms, global reach and service capabilities, we are creating a broader, smarter offering that meets real operational needs across industries and regions.”
“Joining forces with Interroll is a major step forward for our customers,” adds Eric Willems, CEO of Sortteq BV. “We share the same commitment to modularity, performance, and customer-centric innovation. Together, we will be able to bring our proven solutions to more customers, more reliably and with greater long-term value.”
With the integration of Sortteq’s CBS Sorter, Interroll can now offer a seamless product spectrum for sortation, enabling customers to cover a wide range of throughput levels (2,000 to 20,000 items per hour), object types, and automation goals.
