Robco reaches billion-dollar valuation after funding round
Munich robotics company Robco has reached a billion-dollar valuation after a new funding round.
Founded in 2020, it makes modular industrial robots that can handle tasks such as stacking goods and engraving parts.
Robco says it has sold about 1,200 robots in Europe and the United States, and now has 225 employees.
