The dialogue between Solwr and James Hall & Co has been ongoing since the summer of 2022. There have been ongoing studies of technology and solutions, followed by negotiations. The engagement is a direct result of the desire to automate parts of the supply chain in the UK, and above all, a strong belief in Solwr's products and solutions. The agreement was signed in July.
– Through the extensive processes, this is a player we have come to know very well over time. At the same time, they have gained good knowledge of us and the status of our products. Therefore, we feel that this is a very good and important step in the right direction for Solwr, explains Krogen.
As recently as December last year, Asko/NorgesGruppen entered the scene after several years as a development partner. Thus, Solwr has strong actors behind it both nationally and internationally. With recent developments, the tech company is now strengthening its organization to position itself for the next phase.
– We possess unique expertise and are proud of the solutions we have developed. Solwr is still a company where founders and employees have a significant ownership stake. We have already positioned ourselves nationally, but it's clear that recent developments make us more robust – and give us considerably greater impact – as we venture into the international market. Internationally, we see enormous potential for our solutions, says Krogen.
This summer, Solwr was granted a patent for the autonomous robot for warehouse order picking, Grab.
– After a long period of targeted development work and market dialogue, we are now also heading towards a positive operating result for 2023. In addition, we have concrete orders and active contract negotiations. Going forward, our main focus is on customer deliveries and further product development. We are in a very positive period overall, with a lot of exciting things happening in parallel, concludes Torbjørn Krogen.
