Exotec's Imaginarium headquarters has openedFrench warehouse robotics maker Exotec has opened Imaginarium, its new headquarters in Lille, as it starts the next phase of its growth.
The site spans 25,000 sqm and is now home to more than 700 employees working across all business areas from design to production to support teams, all working from the one site.
The new HQ includes a 8,560 sqm production area equipped with 11 operational Exotec systems, used for manufacturing, testing and continuous improvement of the company’s solutions.
Exotec says the layout of the Lille site was designed to “enhance operational efficiency by optimising flows, circulation and proximity between functions, supported by a central hub space connecting all areas of activity”.
“Imaginarium represents a major technological and industrial investment,” says Exotec CEO and co-founder Romain Moulin. “By integrating R&D, production and operations within our headquarters, we strengthen our ability to develop robust, scalable solutions that are closely aligned with our customers’ requirements.”
Exotec’s chief technical officer and co-founder, Renaud Heitz, adds: “Imaginarium reflects our commitment to building in Europe, and our decision to invest for the long term”.
“This headquarters has been designed to support Exotec’s technological roadmap and industrial ambitions over time, while remaining firmly anchored in our local environment,” Renaud continues.
The French company continues to accelerate its global expansion, with recent customer projects and announcements in South Korea with MUSINSA, and in Central Europe with Renault.
It is also recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and 10,000th deployment of its Skypod robot system.
