Robots Helping In The Warehouse? Exotec Opens New Atlanta HQ.
If you've ever been a warehouse worker, a stocker or a retail worker attempting to climb shelves in a stock room, you've probably wished there was an easier way to do it. Exotec, a global warehouse robotics provider, is the creator behind the Skypod system, which which deploys robots to bring items directly to warehouse workers. The aim is to make it simple to deliver sustainable, accurate, and profitable order fulfillment.
The company has officially opened its North American headquarters in Atlanta with a grand opening ceremony led by CEO and Co-founder Romain Moulin. The new office opening comes on the heels of Exotec raising $335 million in its series D funding round, building its 3,000th robot, and tripling global revenue since 2020.
The Atlanta office will support and facilitate Exotec’s North American business growth, which is expected to represent as much as 40% of Exotec’s global business by 2025. Since starting operations in North America, Exotec has signed 16 new partnerships with major organizations across retail, e-Commerce, and third-party logistics. To date, Exotec employs around 50 professionals in Atlanta and aims to double the North American headcount by 2025.
“Our rapid growth in the North American market demonstrates a strong demand for scalable and high-performance warehousing robotics solutions,” says Exotec CEO and Co-founder Romain Moulin. “We are proud to make Atlanta the home of our North American ambitions and we are already seeing a great response from the local market.”
Founded in 2015, in France, by Romain Moulin and Renaud Heitz, Exotec has since grown to a global presence of 550 employees and is transforming warehouse efficiencies and output for the world’s leading brands including Gap, Geodis, Ariat, and Decathlon with its revolutionary robotics.
“Exotec choosing Georgia as a base for its North American expansion is a testament to the state becoming a major technology hub.” says Chris Clark, President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber, “We are thrilled to see world-class companies like Exotec bring jobs and innovation to our vibrant region.”
