The United States automated material handling market is fragmented and highly competitive. Product launches, high expense on research and development, partnerships and acquisitions, etc., are the prime growth strategies adopted by the companies in the country to sustain the intense competition.
- January 2021 - TGW Logistics Group planned to sell certain US conveyor assets in Norton Shores (Michigan) to Material Handling Systems, Inc. (MHS). The contract between the two companies has been signed, and the acquisition is expected to take effect by the end of 2021. Lincoln International guided TGW through the whole M&A process. With the sale, TGW adjusts its strategic portfolio and focuses on the growing integration business in North America.
- July 2020 - Vanderlande created the HOME PICK, based on a goods-to-person (GtP) picking solution that makes use of ADAPTO and is a unique 3D, shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). It is ideal for food retailers to realize economies of scale through centralized fulfillment centers (CFCs). By using ADAPTO and modular workstations, HOMEPICK's scalability also makes it future-proof. The sequenced orders ensure the proper order per delivery route and maximum delivery performance, which results in significant time and cost savings.
