French warehouse robotics specialist Exotec has opened a new production space in Croix, located to the northeast of the city of Lille and close to the design headquarters for its flagship Skypod system.
The space will be used to produce the company’s range of Skypath conveyors, with an expected production output of thirty modules a day.
The new 2,500m² space is a strategic milestone, Exotec has said, and will support its decision to internally manufacture this solution.
