Global robotics and automation company Scott Technology has secured several multimillion-dollar materials handling and logistics (MHL) contracts across Europe and North America with a total value over NZ$12 million. One contract includes an integrated palletizing and automated guided vehicle solution for a major poultry processor within the JBS Group in Georgia. The other contracts are with a Dutch vegetable processor and a frozen potato facility in Canada.

"The automation of global food production is a structural shift, and it's accelerating. Scott's Destination 2030 strategy charts a deliberate course for that future, grounded in deep market understanding and a clear target of $530 million in revenue by 2030. Our growth is being led by two pillars: Customer First approach and Leading-Edge Technology. The MHL Domain's first-half performance, and these new contracts, are exactly what that strategy looks like in practice," said Mike Christman, CEO of Scott Technology.

The US protein project with a poultry processor in the JBS Group includes four palletizing systems and four NexBot AGVs, further strengthening Scott’s relationship with JBS and expanding its presence within the North American protein sector.

The contracts continue the momentum established in H1 for the MHL Domain, which reported revenue of $65 million and net margin of 26%.

"Historically, MHL has built a strong position across food processing,” said Aaron Vanwalleghem, president of materials handling and logistics for Scott Technology. “Under Destination 2030, we are leveraging that foundation to deepen relationships with key accounts, expand into adjacent food processing sectors - specifically across meat, dairy, snacks and bakery goods - whilst broadening our geographic footprint. These recent wins demonstrate tangible progress against our strategy."
