en.Wedoany.com Reported - Comau announced the completion of the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Invent Smart Intralogistics Solutions (hereinafter referred to as "Invent"), a Brazilian warehousing and intralogistics technology company, further expanding its end-to-end intralogistics solutions portfolio.

This transaction integrates intelligent orchestration software with artificial intelligence-driven logistics technology, enhancing the "Comau-Automha" intralogistics ecosystem. Invent will continue to operate independently under its existing management structure and business model. This strategic investment marks another step forward in Comau's strategy to build a global interconnected automation platform, further strengthening its development focus centered on advanced technology and Italian industrial roots.

This acquisition will further reinforce Comau's strategic positioning in the rapidly growing smart logistics market. As the demand for integrating production, warehousing, and material flow continues to rise, the need for end-to-end integrated solutions is increasingly strong. According to industry forecasts, this sector is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of approximately 13% over the next three to five years.

Through this integration, Invent will synergize with Comau's wholly-owned subsidiary Automha to jointly expand Comau's end-to-end intralogistics solutions portfolio. Automha specializes in pallet handling and automated warehousing systems, while Invent holds a leading advantage in tote handling, order fulfillment, and logistics orchestration software. Combined with Comau's technical expertise in industrial automation, this will support the delivery of higher levels of interconnected and intelligent intralogistics systems.

As a result, Comau can cover a more complete material flow management chain, encompassing key areas such as automated warehousing, order preparation, material handling, and process optimization, to meet the evolving demands of distribution centers, fulfillment centers, and industrial logistics facilities.

As supply chains become more dynamic and order fulfillment requirements continue to rise, companies are actively seeking technological solutions that enhance visibility, responsiveness, and operational efficiency. The combination of Comau, Automha, and Invent creates a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions with the full capability to manage end-to-end material flow, covering the entire chain from automated warehousing and order preparation to execution, handling, and process optimization.

This acquisition also expands Comau's presence in key growth markets. While consolidating its existing strengths in Latin America, Invent will provide significant support for Comau's entry into the mid-tier intralogistics market in the United States. Automation demand in this market is continuously growing, with the U.S. and Brazilian markets expected to achieve average annual growth rates of 15% and 17%, respectively, over the next three to five years.

Invent will continue to operate independently under its existing organizational structure, leadership team, and strategic direction to ensure business continuity for customers, partners, and employees. At the same time, it will further benefit from Comau's global network and industrial-scale capabilities.

Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Comau, stated that the acquisition of Invent is another milestone in Comau's journey to build a comprehensive automation platform, further strengthening its position in the fastest-growing intralogistics segments. Driven by digital transformation, e-commerce growth, and the increasing demand for operational flexibility, this market is evolving rapidly. The addition of Invent not only expands global business coverage but also brings highly complementary software and system capabilities, thereby enhancing the overall solution capability to connect manufacturing, warehousing, and material flow.

Leonardo Araki, CEO of Invent, added that embarking on this new chapter will not only accelerate technology development and deployment but also uphold the spirit of innovation and the "customer-centric" philosophy that has been ingrained in Invent since its inception. By joining Comau, Invent gains access to global resources, industrial expertise, and new market opportunities, which will help it further optimize its solutions and create greater value for customers in an increasingly complex logistics environment.
