KNAPP AG
Austrian intralogistics automation leader founded 1952; 8,300+ employees, 2,100+ global installations; known for Open Shuttle AMRs and Pick-it-Easy Robot.
KNAPP AG is an Austrian technology company and global market leader for integrated intralogistics solutions, headquartered in Hart bei Graz, Styria, Austria (Günter-Knapp-Strasse 5-7). Founded in 1952 by Ing. Günter Knapp as a two-person special machine workshop in Graz, the company has grown over seven decades into an international group with more than 8,300 employees across 49 global locations.
KNAPP's export rate stands at 98%, with over 2,100 system installations completed on all continents. Annual revenue reached approximately €1.67 billion in FY2022, with subsequent years marking the company's most successful financial results in its history. KNAPP designs, engineers, and delivers turnkey warehouse automation and logistics systems.
Its key automation technologies include the OSR Shuttle Evo (a high-density storage and retrieval system), the Open Shuttle series of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and the Pick-it-Easy Robot — an AI-powered robotic picking solution developed in collaboration with Californian AI startup Covariant. The Open Shuttle portfolio covers multiple variants: Open Shuttle 50 and 100 for container and carton transport, Open Shuttle Fork for pallet transport, Open Shuttle 50 ASG optimized for the electronics sector, and Open Shuttle Boxgrip for flat-surface container handling. All Open Shuttles feature 3D obstacle detection, blue light safety signaling, and CE certification, and navigate autonomously without fixed floor infrastructure.
The Pick-it-Easy Robot applies machine learning to grasp and sort a broad range of items across pharmaceuticals, food, fashion, tools, and spare parts. KNAPP serves core industries including healthcare and pharmacy, fashion and retail, food and grocery, and industrial manufacturing, with an expanding focus on Industry 4.0 production logistics. Around 6% of annual revenue is reinvested in research and development.
KNAPP's robotics and AI division continues to expand, presenting new intelligent robotics dimensions at LogiMAT 2025.
