Comau has announced that it has acquired 100% of Invent Smart Intralogistics Solutions (“Invent”), a Brazilian company recognized for its expertise in warehouse automation and intralogistics technologies. The strategic investment strengthens Comau’s position in a rapidly expanding market, projected to grow by approximately 13% annually over the next three to five years, where customers are increasingly demanding integrated solutions that seamlessly connect production, storage, and material flow. Together with Automha, the addition of Invent broadens Comau’s ability to support the evolving requirements of distribution centers, fulfillment operations, and industrial logistics facilities with end-to-end automation capabilities. By leveraging Invent’s software-driven warehouse orchestration approach, Automha’s automated storage technologies and Comau’s automation expertise, the companies will be able to deliver increasingly intelligent and connected intralogistics solutions. Where Automha primarily specializes in pallet handling and automated storage systems, Invent brings advanced expertise in box handling, order fulfillment and logistics orchestration, enabling Comau to offer a robust, comprehensive intralogistics portfolio.
As supply chains become more dynamic and order fulfillment requirements continue to increase, companies are looking for technologies that can improve visibility, responsiveness, and operational efficiency. The combination of Comau, Automha and Invent creates a comprehensive portfolio capable of managing end-to-end material flows, from automated storage and order preparation through execution, movement, and process optimization.
The acquisition also enhances Comau’s footprint in strategic growth regions. In addition to strengthening the company’s presence in Latin America, Invent provides valuable access to the U.S. mid-market intralogistics segment, where demand for automation solutions continues to accelerate (up to 15% annual growth in the US; up to 17% in Brazil over the next 3 to 5 years).
Invent will continue to operate with its existing organization, leadership team and strategic direction, ensuring continuity for customers, partners and employees while benefiting from the scale and global reach of the broader Comau ecosystem.
