Warrington, November 8, 2024 – Geekplus, a global leader in autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technology, has revealed how opening its new UK headquarters in the Violet development at Sci-Tech Daresbury in 2022 has enabled its rapid expansion in the UK and across Europe and helped create a raft of high-quality tech jobs in the Liverpool City Region.
The strategically located headquarters is a hub for innovation, featuring a state-of-the-art robotics experience centre where clients can see Geekplus robots in action and explore cutting-edge solutions for automating logistics and warehouse operations.
The UK location has supported the company’s continued growth, with the Geekplus UK team offering comprehensive services including sales, solution design, implementation engineering, project management, and customer care.
This has resulted in the creation of over 20 new jobs since opening on campus.
Brian Lee, Managing Director, EMEA, Geekplus said: “The UK is home to some of our most exciting projects, including large-scale automated parcel sorting and goods-to-person robotics deployments. Our headquarters at Sci-Tech Daresbury have allowed us to serve our UK clients even more effectively and showcase our robotics solutions in action while creating a significant number of job opportunities for local people.
