STAUBLI WFT GmbH
STAUBLI WFT GmbH (Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Germany) develops AGVs and mobile transport systems for production logistics; acquired by Staubli Group in 2018.
STAUBLI WFT GmbH is a German manufacturer of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and mobile transport systems, headquartered in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Bavaria, Germany. The company traces its commercial origins to 1998 under the name Wittich Fertigungstechnik, with heritage rooted in a blacksmithing business founded in 1918 by Franz Wittich. In 2018, the company became part of the Staubli Group, which acquired a 70% stake to strengthen its mobile robotics portfolio; the entity is now branded STAUBLI WFT GmbH.
The Sulzbach-Rosenberg site employs approximately 120 specialists focused on development and production of AGVs for industrial and production logistics applications. STAUBLI WFT's core offerings include in-floor and overhead transport systems capable of load capacities ranging from 20 tonnes (with integrated electric lifting) to 150 tonnes (with integrated hydraulic lifting), mobile cranes for production halls without fixed overhead cranes, drive technology for cranes, portals, and work platforms, and special purpose machines. The company's patented drive unit, developed in-house, forms the foundation of its AGV product line, enabling precise positioning, indexed transport, and flexible routing in manufacturing environments.
Target industries include automotive production, general manufacturing, and heavy industrial facilities requiring floor-level material movement. STAUBLI WFT serves customers requiring custom transport solutions integrated into production cell layouts. Products are designed for shorter cycle times, reduced set-up times, and optimized batch production.
