为确保业务连续性，Automha 将继续坚持以人为本、质量为先、创新驱动的发展理念，保持现有的组织架构与管理战略不变。Franco Togni 将继续担任首席执行官，Gianni Togni 和 Roberta Togni 除继续履行当前职责外，也将加入柯马执行委员会，携手推动两家公司的协同发展。

这项具有约束力的协议契合柯马近期股权结构调整后的全新战略定位。随着国际私募股权公司 One Equity Partners 成为主要股东，柯马已正式迈入独立运营的新阶段。此次收购不仅再次巩固并强化了柯马在意大利的本土根基与运营能力，也进一步拓展了其全球服务版图与国际影响力。相应地，Automha 将能够通过利用增强的地理版图布局和内部技术能力来扩大和进一步发展其业务。此外，鉴于柯马和 Automha 的业务互补性，这次整合将加强相互的项目品类组合。

柯马首席执行官 Pietro Gorlier 表示：“正如我们成为一家独立公司并在交易完成后立即实施时所定义的那样，通过收购 Automha 等创新公司来扩大我们的业务范围、专业知识和技术组合是柯马增长战略的关键一步。除了利用仓储和内部物流市场的强劲增长潜力外，Automha 与柯马的整合将使我们能够利用我们综合的专业知识和资源，加速全球广泛工业领域的创新和增长。”

“当我们投资柯马时，我们看到了一条清晰的前进道路，可以帮助公司进行战略扩张并扩大规模。并购是实现这一目标的主要驱动力，我们认为仓库、物流和搬运自动化系统是这项业务的重要机会，”One Equity Partners 合伙人 Ante Kusurin 说，“收购 Automha 是柯马迈向运营多元化的一步，并进一步将公司带入工业自动化趋势提高更多行业的生产力。我们对这两家公司互补联手的机会感到兴奋。”
“在柯马，我们找到了一个与我们有着共同价值观的合作伙伴，即质量、创新和对客户成功的承诺，”Automha 创始人 Franco Togni 补充道，“这个新的篇章不仅代表了 Automha 的成长时刻，也是始于 1979 年的旅程的延续。我对未来充满期待，因为我知道与柯马一起，我们将继续追求卓越，扩大我们的全球影响力，并达到适当的规模以便在竞争力和项目规模不断提高的市场中保持领先地位。”

Press Release
Comau Enters into a Binding Agreement to Acquire Automha
- Comau announced today that it has entered into a binding agreement with Trasma S.r.l. (“Trasma”) under which Comau will acquire full ownership of Automha S.p.A. (“Automha”) and its subsidiaries globally
- The strategic investment by Comau is a further step in building a forward-focused Italian automation Hub and will leverage the strong synergies between the two brands to create value for customers and shareholders in different markets around the world
- Automha will continue to operate post-acquisition with the same structure, management and strategic vision in addition to enhanced growth prospects
Grugliasco (Turin), New York, Bergamo - April 3, 2025 – Comau has signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of Automha, an Italian company operating in the warehousing and intralogistics automation industry, owned by Trasma S.r.l. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent in transactions of this type, including necessary regulatory approvals, and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2025. Under the terms of the agreement Comau will acquire 100% of Automha shares, paving the way for new opportunities within the rapidly growing warehousing and logistics sector and establishing a further step toward the creation of a forward-focused Italian industrial automation hub able to innovate and compete in multiple markets.
To ensure business continuity, Automha will continue to operate with the same structure, management and strategic vision, keeping people, quality and innovation at its core. Franco Togni will retain his position as CEO while Gianni Togni and Roberta Togni, in addition to continuing in their current roles, will join the Comau Executive Committee to contribute to the ongoing development of both companies.
This binding agreement is coherent with the strategy behind the recent change in Comau’s shareholder structure - whose majority share is now held by One Equity Partners, an international private equity firm - which has allowed Comau to become a standalone company. With this acquisition Comau reconfirms and strengthens its Italian roots and operations, while enhancing its global offer and international presence. In parallel, Automha will be able to scale-up and further develop its business by leveraging an enhanced geographical footprint and in-house technology competencies. Furthermore, given that Comau and Automha are fully complementary, the relationship will strengthen the mutual portfolio of projects.
“Expanding our reach, know-how and technology portfolio through the acquisition of innovative companies such as Automha is a crucial step in Comau’s growth strategy, as defined when we became a stand-alone company and implemented immediately after the closing phase,” said Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Comau. “In addition to capitalizing on the strong growth potential of warehousing and intralogistics markets, the integration of Automha within Comau will allow us to leverage our combined expertise and resources, to accelerate innovation and growth across a wide range of global industrial sectors.”
“When we invested in Comau, we saw a clear path forward to help the company expand strategically and gain scale. M&A is a main driver for this, and we identified warehouse, logistics and handling automation systems as a significant opportunity for this business,” said Ante Kusurin, Partner at One Equity Partners. “The acquisition of Automha is a move toward diversification of Comau’s operations and further taps the company into industrial automation trends improving productivity across many industries. We are excited for the opportunity ahead of us as these two complementary companies join forces.”
“In Comau we have found a partner who shares our values of quality, innovation, and commitment to customer success,” added Franco Togni, Founder of Automha. “This new chapter represents not only a moment of growth for Automha but also a continuation of the journey that began in 1979. I look forward to the future that lies ahead, knowing that together with Comau, we will continue to build excellence, expand our global impact and to reach a proper size to keep a leading position in a market that is increasing competitiveness and project dimensions.”
