Croix, 27 March 2023 – Exotec®, a global designer and supplier of robotic warehouse solutions, announces the signing of a major contract with Alliance Automotive Group (AAG) UKI, a leading supplier of car and commercial vehicle parts distribution operating in European markets. This contract marks another important step in Exotec’s expansion in the UK. It follows on from the recent contract with AAG France, announced in June 2022.
The warehouse is equipped with Exotec’s complete suite of solutions: the Skypod® system, as well as picking stations, Deepsky® warehouse software and 1,700 metres of Skypath® conveyors. Each of the new solutions is based on Exotec’s characteristic modular design, which makes it possible to meet business requirements by easily adding new elements to existing systems. Exotec was selected to help streamline processes and optimise production. Pre-production and installation of the Exotec systems will begin shortly.
Neil Warren, AAG’s Group Logistics Director in the UK, says: ‘I’m very excited about using this technology to serve our customers as efficiently and quickly as possible, thanks to the operational flexibility it gives us.
‘After the successful implementation of our first system with AAG in France, we are proud to continue our close collaboration in the UK, alongside a visionary team, and to support them in achieving their growth objectives in Europe,’ comments Rémy Malchirand, Exotec’s Executive Vice President for Western Europe. ‘This new agreement illustrates our successful track record in the UK market and underlines the size and scope of the projects we can now implement. Our systems and products will provide AAG with an automated warehouse that is simple, flexible and scalable, enabling smooth growth and implementation as it expands across Europe,’ concludes Rémy Malchirand.
The signing of the contract with AAG UKI adds to Exotec’s growing international portfolio, which now includes more than 80 customer sites in 14 different countries.
