The Norwegian automated warehouse solution provider and AutoStore integrator Element Logic today said it has acquired ABCO Systems, a New Jersey-based system integrator specializing in storage and automation solutions.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Element Logic said the move will add to its footprint of 900 employees across 30 countries by enabling a strategic expansion in the Americas.
ABCO Systems, previously owned by The Zaf Group – the family office of Mike and Robin Zafirovski, provides racking, pick mezzanines, storage solutions, and shelving systems, as well as expanding capabilities in automation including robotics, goods-to-person systems, and automated sortation. With some 50 employees, the firm serves clients in the sectors of e-commerce, 3PL, retail, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage.
According to ABCO leaders, the new combination creates a powerful company within the industry. “Very few systems integrators have the ability to implement a full turn-key solution which includes anything from storage to platforms to automation and everything in between,” Seth Weisberg, CEO of ABCO Systems, said in a release. “Most have to farm out various aspects of any given project. Element Logic now has the ability to do individual solutions in brownfield buildings if that is what is required, or an entire greenfield solution.”
