Economic survey
We expect our industry to continue to develop very positively
Our eleven for 23: In the exclusive survey by materialfluss, eleven experts assess where the journey is heading this year. Andreas J. Böttner, CEO of ek Robotics, is one of them.
An exceptionally strong order situation, the steady growth of the ek Robotics Group, the construction process of our new headquarters and the intensification of existing and new partnerships characterize the year 2022. We have also expanded our product portfolio with the market launch of our new AGV and AMR transport platform X Move and the launch of our smart analytics reporting app (Sara).
In 2023, ek Robotics will continue to expand its leading role as a manufacturer of automated guided vehicles internationally and benefit from its decades of experience in the transport robotics industry. With the opening of the new company headquarters in Hamburg City, we want to meet the company's growth in an appropriate manner, increase our attractiveness as an employer and further develop our diverse portfolio of solutions and products. We are very confident that the general trend towards automation will continue to accelerate in 2023 despite the overall negative economic forecasts. Automated guided vehicles are a key technology in intralogistics and a key driver of efficiency in innovative processes.
