Swisslog (acq by Kuka) (CH)

Swisslog is a Swiss provider of automated intralogistics and warehouse automation systems, headquartered in Buchs, Switzerland. Its origins trace to Sprecher and Schuh, founded in Aarau in 1900; the company adopted the Swisslog name in 1994. Swisslog became part of the KUKA Group in 2015, operating as a subsidiary rather than an independent public company.

The company's product portfolio includes AutoStore cube storage integration, the PowerStore shuttle-based storage and retrieval system, CycloneCarrier tote and carton transport, ItemPiQ robotic item picking, ACPaQ mixed-case robotic palletizing, and the Vectura pallet-handling crane and conveyor line. Its SynQ software platform provides warehouse execution and control across these systems, coordinating goods-to-person picking, order fulfillment, and material flow. Swisslog designs these systems for grocery and food distribution, general merchandise and fashion fulfillment, and e-commerce and industrial warehousing.

Swisslog employs more than 3,000 people at over 30 locations worldwide, including a technology center in Dortmund, Germany, and has completed more than 2,500 automation projects. Customers that have named Swisslog as a supplier include Medline, BJ's Wholesale Club, Cardinal Health, H-E-B, and dm-drogerie markt.
