Prior to Its Acquisition by Houlihan Lokey, GCA Altium Advised AGILOX
GCA Altium acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Raiffeisen Invest Private Equity and the founders of AGILOX, a leading provider of intelligent autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for the automation of intralogistics and material handling processes, on an investment from The Carlyle Group.
Headquartered in Neukirchen bei Lambach, Austria, AGILOX develops and produces AI-based, self-driving logistics robots. AGILOX’s AMRs drive major productivity gains, increase safety and reliability, and help address staff shortages in intralogistics and material handling processes. With its control system based on swarm intelligence, unrestricted omnidirectional freedom of movement, maximum navigation precision, and easiness of use, AGILOX is setting new industry standards in the automated transport of pallet-based load carriers. AGILOX’s technology is highly valued by its blue-chip customer base, which includes many multinational market leaders from the automotive, consumer goods, and other manufacturing industries, alongside customers in the mechanical engineering and logistics sectors. Through its headquarters in Europe, subsidiary in the U.S., and global partner network, AGILOX has a presence in most of the key markets for intralogistics and material handling automation.
Global investment firm The Carlyle Group, alongside existing AGILOX shareholder Raiffeisen Invest Private Equity, will invest substantial growth capital to help drive AGILOX’s further international expansion and the development of new products. The founders of AGILOX, along with Raiffeisen Invest Private Equity, will each retain a large stake in the company. In a rapidly growing AMR market, The Carlyle Group’s investment and global network will further accelerate AGILOX’s growth. Equity for the transaction will be provided by Carlyle Europe Technology Partners (CETP) IV, a €1.35 billion fund that invests in small and middle-market technology-focused opportunities.
