Balyo has been selected by the Behr Paint Company to equip four additional distribution centres across the USA. Over the course of 2023, Balyo will deploy a fleet of REACHY robots at each facility to automate storage and retrieval operations.

Behr Paint Company is one of the largest manufacturers of paints, primers, decorative finishes, stains, and surface preparation and application products for do-it-yourselfers and professionals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Chile. To keep an optimised storage space and reduce operating costs of the USA distribution centres, Behr chose Balyo, a pioneer in driverless forklifts.

Balyo robots automate operations and also improve safety and reduce the damage often associated with the manual handling of goods. 

Pascal Rialland, CEO of Balyo, says: “We are very excited to convert new sites for Behr after a first successful project over 2022 and proud to pursue our journey with such a prestigious brand as Behr. We engaged collaboratively with Behr at the first site in Dallas with three robots coping with extreme space conditions and will now engage with four new facilities with 12 of our Gen2 reach robots. 

“All four sites will be operational in 2023. 

“This renewed trust through this extensive rollout across the Behr network is fundamental proof of the many advances made by Balyo in recent years, in terms of performance, ease of use, flexibility and the fast deployment speed of our robots and technologies,” he explains. Rialland believes the robotisation of logistics flows for high-bay storage remains an untapped challenge facing manufacturers and logisticians and claims his company is perfectly positioned to meet this growing demand.
