Fruitcore Robotics introduced in 23 million euros, over $24 million, in Sequence B funding final week. Fruitcore Robotics provides a line of commercial robotic arms that make the most of the corporate’s Extremely Optimized Robotic Methods Know-how (HORST).
“With the closing of our Sequence B financing, we’re once more an enormous step nearer to our aim of creating robotics and automation options accessible to the plenty. We see that the demand for high-quality and easy-to-use robots out there is steadily rising. Due to this fact, we are going to use the brand new capital primarily to serve the demand for our robotics and automation options in addition to digital merchandise within the European market,” Jens Riegger, Managing Director (CEO) and co-founder of Fruitcore Robotics, stated.

The robots can deal with payloads between 3 and 12 kilograms (6.6 – 26.5 lbs) and have reaches of 600, 900 and 1400 millimeters (23.6″, 35.4″, 55.1″).
The corporate additionally provides the HORST600 lab robotic system that’s particularly designed for pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises in addition to for laboratory and analysis services.
“We’re nonetheless originally of the robots’ progress trajectory, particularly in medium-sized companies, and we’re satisfied that with our ‘digital robotic’ HORST we’re one of many recreation changers and thus a driving pressure for the broad use of robots within the manufacturing business. We want to thank our buyers for the belief they’ve positioned in us,” Patrick Heimburger, Managing Director (Chief Income Officer) at Fruitcore Robotics, stated.
