AutoStore to acquire Dutch warehouse automation firm Logiqs for up to €30 million
Norwegian fulfilment automation company AutoStore has agreed to buy Logiqs, a Dutch maker of roaming pallet storage robots, for up to €30 million. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
AutoStore, a Norwegian company that develops robotics and software for automating order fulfilment, has announced an agreement to acquire Logiqs, a Dutch firm based in Maasdijk. Logiqs builds roaming robots for the automated storage and retrieval of palletised goods, known as pallet AS/RS systems. The price could reach €30 million, and the purchase is meant to extend AutoStore's offering into pallet-based automation.
AutoStore said it will pay from existing cash reserves and does not expect a material effect on its financial results. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026. Until then, the two companies will operate separately.
What AutoStore gets
Logiqs' technology is in use at about 30 customer sites across several regions and industries. The company also offers greenhouse automation and vertical farming systems, and has 60 employees. Logiqs said its current products, including the horticultural systems, will continue to be sold and supported, and ongoing projects and support for existing systems will carry on.
AutoStore CEO Mats Hovland Vikse said supply chains are becoming more strategic for customers, who are seeking better productivity, flexibility and resilience. He said Logiqs will, over time, bring roaming pallet AS/RS capabilities to the AutoStore platform. Logiqs CEO Reyer van der Louw said the two companies have similar cultures.
AutoStore's results
AutoStore was founded in 1995 and has more than 1,350 customers in 68 countries and about 2,050 systems worldwide. On Thursday it published its third-quarter 2026 results: revenue rose 38% and order intake 17% year over year. The company also raised its full-year revenue guidance to about $750 million, from roughly $700 million given with Q2 results.
