Founded in 2015 by Romain Moulin and Renaud Heitz, Exotec operates from Croix in the Hauts-de-France region, with offices in Atlanta, Tokyo, and Munich. The specialism is goods-to-person warehouse automation, with the Skypod robotic system at the centre - 3D-navigating robots handle order picking and buffering. The Deepsky software orchestrates operations, integrating with WMS for real-time analytics. Customer industries include retail, e-commerce, and logistics, with brands such as Carrefour, Decathlon, Gap, and Uniqlo among more than 100 global sites. By 2024 the company had sold $1B in systems and raised $335M in Series D funding in 2022 at a $2B valuation.
