Swisslog has two distinct robotics-related activities: healthcare solutions and warehouse and distribution solutions. The Swisslog acquisition adds a mobility arm to KUKA’s arsenal of products, a strategic move that many old-line robot manufacturers are choosing to make, e.g.: Adept when they acquired Mobile Robots. Earlier they acquired global systems integrator Reis Robotics. This is the 2nd major acquisition by KUKA this year. KUKA also said that Swisslog’s brand and facilities would not be affected by the transaction. KUKA, one of the Big Four global robot makers, stated that the purchase price would be $357 million and that the transaction would be completed mid-December. Swisslog’s Board of Directors have recommended that the offer be accepted. KUKA robots are utilized in a diverse range of industries including the appliance, automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, logistics, food, pharmaceutical, medical, foundry and plastics industries and in multiple applications including material handling, machine loading, assembly, packaging, palletizing, welding, bending, joining, and surface finishing.Late last month KUKA made a public offer to Swisslog shareholders to purchase their shares at 8.9% above the market price.
