Expansion in Eastern Europe
On February 1, 2023, the transport robotics provider ek robotics opens a location in Hungary. Tamás Zahornitzky is appointed Managing Director of the branch in Budapest.
With the new location, ek robotics is expanding its presence for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on the Eastern European market. For many manufacturing companies in Eastern Europe, the starting point for investing in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) has changed noticeably in recent years. A lack of skilled workers combined with rising wages and a high fluctuation rate with increasing order volumes are making investments in AGV projects increasingly attractive. "The automation of intralogistics processes is relatively late in this market and there is huge potential for growth," says Ronald Kretschmer, Chief Sales Officer at ek robotics. "With the new location in Hungary, we want to participate in the pent-up demand in the field of production and logistics automation as well as the further growth potential in Eastern Europe and further expand our international presence. In addition to numerous AGV systems, a comprehensive service network for CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) is to be created to support our customers in maintaining the systems," says Andreas Böttner, CEO of ek robotics.
Tamás Zahornitzky, the new Managing Director of ek robotics kft, has been active in production and logistics automation for over 14 years and most recently worked as Sales and Marketing Manager at the Hungarian system integrator Gamma Digital. In the past five years, Tamás Zahornitzky has realized several successful automation projects in this position together with ek robotics in Eastern Europe. Now, as Managing Director, he will build up the location in Budapest.
