Mecademic continues growth
Jonathan Coulombe and Ilian Bonev founded Mecademic Robotics in 2013. The two co-founders initially targeted the robotics research and education sector. The company’s name, a combination of “mechanics” and “academic,” represents these beginnings in academia.
Coulombe and Bonev studied what the automation industry needs and what was missing. They said they decided to fill the gaps by introducing a robot that was uniquely small, compact, and easy to operate.
In addition to expanding its vendor network, Mecademic said it has sustained rapid revenue growth thanks in large part to an increased demand for its robotic arms, end effectors, and accessories. The company said it serves applications such as assembly, pick and place, inspection, and machine tending.
Earlier this month, Mecademic received Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Award. The award recognizes the achievements of Canadian technology companies, highlighting their commitment to innovation, continued resilience amid a global pandemic, strong leadership, and rapid revenue growth.
