Locus Robotics, a provider of warehouse automation technologies, has embarked on the next phase of its European growth with plans to relocate its European headquarters operations to Logistics Campus Aalsmeer.
The increased footprint will provide significantly more space for Locus Robotics’ European teams, warehouse operations, customer demonstrations, solution training, partner engagement, and regional robot lifecycle support.
The move builds on several years of regional growth, with Locus Robotics now serving 160+ customers across more than 20 countries and supporting more than 17,000 robots in the field.
During peak seasons, the company deploys hundreds more to help customers flex capacity when demand is highest, underscoring the value of flexible automation as warehouse operators navigate labour constraints, volume volatility, SKU complexity, and evolving fulfilment requirements.
Denis Niezgoda, chief commercial officer, International at Locus Robotics, says: “Europe is a major growth market for Locus Robotics, and this expansion reflects the scale of the opportunity in front of us.
“As demand accelerates, we are investing in the infrastructure, talent, and customer experience needed to support the full automation lifecycle, from deployment and service to seasonal scaling and long-term performance optimisation.
“The facility will give customers and prospects a direct view into the full strength of our solution, including Locus Origin, Locus Vector, Locus Array, and LocusONE™, while showing how flexible automation performs at scale in real operating conditions.”
Locus Robotics helps warehouse operators adapt to changing demand, labour availability, order profiles, and SKU complexity while improving productivity, accuracy, labour efficiency, and workplace ergonomics.
Powered by LocusONE, the company’s orchestration platform, Locus Robotics coordinates fulfilment workflows through a unified system of robotics, operational data, and applied AI.
Its portfolio includes Locus Origin for core workflows such as picking, replenishment, returns, and sortation; Locus Vector for higher-payload, higher-volume handling and material flow; and Locus Array, a fully autonomous Robots-to-Goods fulfilment system developed for high-density storage and picking environments.
The new site will be developed by Eindhoven-based Next Level Development on a plot located on Japanlaan and Thailandlaan in Aalsmeer. Completion is scheduled for April 2027, after which Locus Robotics is expected to move into the facility.
René Geujen, director acquisitions and leasing at Next Level Development, says: “Locus Robotics is a strong addition to Logistics Campus Aalsmeer.
“We are proud that this location will become an important base for Locus Robotics’ expanded European operations. Their choice of this site underlines the quality and appeal of both the building and the wider logistics region.”
Cushman & Wakefield advised Locus Robotics throughout the search and leasing process for the new facility, supporting the company in identifying a location that could meet its growing operational, warehouse, demo, and customer engagement requirements as it continues to scale across Europe.
Aron van den Hoogen, senior consultant at Cushman & Wakefield, says: “Locus Robotics had a clear requirement for a future-ready facility that could support its expanding European operations, growing installed base, and broader automation portfolio.
“The new location in Aalsmeer provides the right combination of accessibility, logistics infrastructure, and operational flexibility to support the company’s next phase of growth. We are pleased to have advised Locus Robotics throughout this process.”
