Key points
- AutoStore to acquire Logiqs BV for up to €30 million, closing Q4 2026.
- Integration will add pallet‑automation hardware, software and a 60‑person team to AutoStore’s fulfillment platform.
Logiqs builds autonomous storage and retrieval systems that use E‑Carriers rated for 1.6‑ton loads, 48‑volt power, regenerative braking and a cruising speed of one meter per second. The carriers can operate for three shifts on a single charge, and vertical transporters can carry a carrier, a pallet or both. Throughput can be scaled by adding more carriers, lifts or racking.
AutoStore will fund the purchase from cash reserves and expects no material impact on its financial results. CEO Mats Hovland Vikse said the acquisition is another step toward an autonomous, intelligent fulfillment platform, while Logiqs CEO Reyer van der Louw highlighted the opportunity to accelerate technology together with AutoStore.
