AutoStore to Acquire Logiqs in Robotics Deal
The Norwegian warehouse automation company has agreed to buy Dutch horticulture and pallet storage specialist Logiqs B.V.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Robotics
AutoStore has entered into an agreement to acquire Logiqs B.V., a Maasdijk, Netherlands-based automation firm. Logiqs' current offering, including its horticultural systems, will continue to be sold and supported.
Why it matters
The deal brings Logiqs' automated pallet storage technology, deployed at about 30 customer sites, into AutoStore's platform, which already runs roughly 2,000 systems in more than 68 countries. Until the acquisition closes, the two companies will continue to operate separately.
Logiqs' iCUBE is an automated pallet storage system using four-way shuttles and proprietary control software, deployed at approximately 30 customer sites. AutoStore's installed base is about 2,000 systems across more than 68 countries, and the terms and closing timeline of the deal have not been disclosed.
The players
AutoStore
AutoStore is an international technology company founded in Norway that builds automated warehouse storage systems, with about 2,000 installations in more than 68 countries.
Logiqs B.V.
Logiqs is a Dutch automation firm based in Maasdijk that has worked on horticulture logistics since 1975 and employs a team of 60.
The details
AutoStore has agreed to acquire Logiqs B.V., which has developed automation solutions for horticulture since 1975 and offers the iCUBE pallet storage system. AutoStore intends to expand its platform over time to include automated pallet storage, and further information about the collaboration will be shared as plans take shape.
Timeline
1975: Logiqs begins developing automation solutions for horticulture.
November 5, 2026: AutoStore announces the agreement to acquire Logiqs.
The Tech Race
The deal extends AutoStore's cube-based storage platform, which has been installed in about 2,000 systems, into full pallet handling. It positions the company to compete more directly in the broader warehouse automation market against rivals offering pallet-level systems.
Current Logiqs customers will continue to receive sales and support for existing systems, including horticultural solutions. Businesses using warehouse automation may see expanded product options if AutoStore broadens its platform to include pallet storage.
The takeaway
Companies evaluating warehouse automation should watch how AutoStore integrates Logiqs' pallet storage technology, since that will determine whether the combined platform can serve a wider range of storage needs. Existing customers of either firm should confirm service continuity during the period before the acquisition closes.
