en.Wedoany.com Reported - AutoStore is expanding its global presence in Australia and New Zealand, where it now supports over 30 systems in the region, including an in-store AutoStore system at IKEA's Sylvia Park store in Auckland. This growth reflects local enterprises actively enhancing the speed, flexibility, and resilience of their fulfillment operations through automation transformation.
Enterprises with complex supply chains and rising customer expectations are increasingly turning to automation to improve speed, accuracy, and reliability. AutoStore technology supports leading brands in global retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing, helping them handle higher order volumes, optimize space utilization, and respond more quickly to demand changes.
In the region, AutoStore's momentum is supported by partners such as Swisslog, Dematic, Kardex, and Element Logic. These partners play a central role in designing, implementing, and supporting systems for customers across retail, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and other industries.
Sven Åge Hjorteland, President of AutoStore Asia Pacific, stated that the company has established a solid foothold in Australia and New Zealand, and this growth reflects the achievements made together with its partners. He noted that all parties are working together to help customers build fulfillment operations that can adapt, scale, and operate reliably every day.
In the IKEA Sylvia Park project, Swisslog integrated AutoStore automation directly into the store environment, supporting faster and more accurate processing of online and offline orders as well as click-and-collect customer needs. Steve Dimitrovski, Sales Director of Swisslog Australia and New Zealand, said that retailers need fulfillment operations capable of keeping pace with evolving customer expectations across in-store, online, and click-and-collect channels. The IKEA Sylvia Park project demonstrates how AutoStore brings high-density automation directly into retail environments, improving speed, accuracy, and scalability.
In Australia, Dematic provided AutoStore technology to Southwest Healthcare, helping this regional healthcare provider meet growing logistics demands. Terry Jamieson, Business Development Manager at Dematic, noted that healthcare logistics requires accuracy, reliability, and the ability to scale with community growth. The partnership with AutoStore has helped Southwest Healthcare strengthen its fulfillment operations.
Kardex has also delivered other cases in the region. In New Zealand, Douglas partnered with Kardex to install an AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system at its West Auckland facility, helping this healthcare and pharmaceutical company increase storage capacity. In Australia, Kardex delivered an AutoStore system to Pirtek, supporting more efficient operations in industrial distribution. Grant Smith, Business Development Director for AutoStore at Kardex in Australia and New Zealand, said that the Douglas and Pirtek projects demonstrate how AutoStore helps customers increase capacity, improve accuracy, support growth, and better utilize available space.
This regional progress reflects a global demand for faster, more reliable, and space-efficient fulfillment operations. Founded in Norway, AutoStore has grown into a global technology company with over 1,900 systems in more than 65 countries.
