The Swiss material handling solutions provider Interroll today said it has acquired Sortteq BV, a Netherlands-based startup whose modular and innovative chain-belt sorter (CBS) product complements and expands Interroll’s existing sorter platform, the firm said.
More specifically, Sortteq’s modular technology enables new system configurations and expands throughput ranges, especially in parcel, postal, and e-commerce logistics. Its flagship CBS features a space-efficient design capable of handling up to 10,000 parcels per hour.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Interroll said the move accelerates innovation, closes product gaps, and enhances its global solution portfolio.
With the integration of Sortteq’s CBS Sorter, Interroll can now offer a seamless product spectrum for sortation, enabling customers to cover a wide range of throughput levels, object types, and automation goals. The enhanced portfolio is ideal for sectors that demand flexibility, scalability, and reliability in sortation performance, such as: CEP, Warehousing & Distribution, Fashion, Retail, Supermarket & E-Groceries operations.
Following the deal, Sortteq’s two founders will continue contributing their technical expertise as consultants to Interroll, with a focus on advancing development and supporting the industrialization of the chain belt sorter within Interroll’s global operations.
