Global modular warehouse storage automation company AutoStore recently relocated its United States headquarters to an expanded facility in Salem, N.H.
The company said its U.S. headquarters relocation will bring over 100 jobs to the greater Boston region and will support the company’s continued growth and investment in the North American automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) market.
At over 40,000 square feet, AutoStore said its new facility will better serve and support end customers with a growing service team, revamped training programs, and comprehensive onsite technology demonstrations.
AutoStore Academy to offer hands-on and virtual training
The Salem headquarters will house the company’s newest initiative - the AutoStore Academy - which will offer hands-on and virtual training for integration partners to design, install, maintain, and service AutoStore Systems. Additionally, the facility will include an Experience Center with an on-site AS/RS, complete with active robots and workstations on a large-scale grid, for live demonstrations and training purposes.
“With accelerated and continued growth across North America, our new U.S. headquarters will enable us to continue expanding the cube-based AS/RS market for better warehousing in the U.S.,” said Paul Roy, vice president and managing director of North America at AutoStore. “We’re particularly excited about several hands-on initiatives and regular onsite demonstrations, which will enable us to provide our customers with unique opportunities to see AutoStore’s technology in action.”
AutoStore said its automated fulfillment systems help brands and logistics providers like Puma, Gucci, BestBuy, Medline, Helly Hansen, and DHL accelerate order fulfillment with 99.7% accuracy. With over 232 systems, 14 million bins, and 17,000 robots deployed in the U.S. alone, the company’s new headquarters will help support its ongoing expansion across North America.
