Exotec's new headquarters, Imaginarium, is a truly impressive investment. Its 25,000 square meter area and over 700 engineers, consolidating R&D and production processes, will greatly contribute to the company's growth strategy. The advantages that such centers provide in the development of robotic solutions and global customer service are particularly significant.

Furthermore, their focus on international growth by opening offices in different regions and strengthening collaborations is also noteworthy. I believe that more innovation centers of this kind will emerge in the future, increasing competition in the sector. These developments are sure to bring more innovation to the field of intralogistics!
