Schwingshandl Automation technology

Quality isn’t just a certificate. It’s how we work. ✅ As Schwingshandl continues to grow, maintaining high standards and continuously improving our processes is more important than ever. Our recent surveillance audit for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) confirmed that we’re on the right track. The result: Zero nonconformities across all three management systems. Beyond this result, the external auditor particularly highlighted: - Well-structured processes and effective risk management - Consistent implementation of our corporate strategy - High standards in occupational safety, production and assembly What makes this result particularly valuable to us is that our management systems continue to evolve alongside our growing business. For our customers and partners, this means more than meeting international standards. It means reliable processes, consistent quality, and a strong commitment to ongoing improvement. Because quality isn’t a one-time achievement. It’s a continuous commitment. 🎯

One system. Multiple functions. Successfully tested. ✅ Another successful Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at Schwingshandl – this time together with a new customer for a customized tote handling solution for the food and general retail sectors. The system automates the handling of stacked totes and combines several process steps in one integrated solution: 🔸 Buffering: Multiple tote stacks can be fed into the system consecutively and buffered for further processing. 🔸 Dolly separation: At the infeed station, the tote stacks are separated from their transport dollies. 🔸 Automatic destacking: Tote stacks are automatically separated into individual totes and transferred to the downstream conveyor system, eliminating the need for manual destacking. 🔸 Integrated height compensation: The destacker also bridges the height difference between different conveyor levels, eliminating the need for an additional machine. The result: Multiple functions combined in one system – ensuring efficient material flow with reduced manual handling. The system successfully passed its FAT at our facility in Holzhausen, Austria. Installation and commissioning are scheduled for early 2027. An important milestone together with our new customer – and another example of how customized intralogistics solutions simplify complex processes. 🎥 Watch the video to see the system in action.

Growing successfully. Improving together. Pursuing ambitious goals. At our quarterly employee update, we shared insights into our latest business developments, new orders and exciting projects. But just as importantly, we focused on our shared goals and how we continue to develop and improve as a company. 📈 Positive business development. The orders and projects secured during the first three quarters reflect our continued progress and our strengthening position in international markets. At the same time, we know that success can never be taken for granted. 🎯 Our vision: Becoming a world champion in our niches. What does that mean in practice? We aim to set global benchmarks for customized intralogistics solutions that meet particularly demanding requirements. We develop solutions where standard approaches reach their limits – and strive to earn our customers‘ trust through innovation, quality and reliability. 🥋 Continuous improvement starts with ourselves. A great example is our colleagues who successfully completed their Lean Management training and earned their Yellow Belts. To recognize their achievement, we presented them with actual yellow belts featuring the Schwingshandl logo. Congratulations! With this expertise, we are strengthening our ability to continuously improve our processes and the way we work. Through our leadership development program and the PERMA leadership approach, we are also investing in the development of our leaders and collaboration across our teams. Because one thing is clear: We can only achieve our ambitious goals together – with people who demonstrate accountability, contribute new ideas and strive to get a little better every day. 🧡

What does it take to achieve long-term success – both in business and in elite sports? That was exactly the question at the heart of our Schwingshandl Power Day 2026 on Saturday. The day began with our “What it takes to win” Insight Session. Together with Markus Schlotter (CCO at Unchained Robotics and former Managing Director of Exotec Central Europe), Kai Windmann (Head of BORA Academy), Franz Humer (Co-Founder of AGILOX and novventos), football coach and former Austrian national team player Peter Stöger, and Thomas Schwingshandl, Founder of Schwingshandl automation technology, we discussed what it takes to achieve long-term success: leadership and teamwork, innovation and courage, dealing with pressure and setbacks, and the ability to continuously evolve and improve. The discussion was moderated by Marina Herzmayer. Once again, one thing became clear: the worlds of business and elite sports have far more in common than one might expect at first glance. In the afternoon, the action moved from the stage to the race course. During the 3rd Schwingshandl Cycle Race, our company premises were transformed into a cycling arena, featuring what was probably the most extraordinary section of the course: straight through our production hall. 🚴🏭 Just before the elite race, participants from Dexion Asia Pacific, IGZ, Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH, KNAPP, Movu Robotics, SITLog GmbH, UBH SOFTWARE & ENGINEERING GmbH, and Schwingshandl took to the course together in the VIP Race. The focus was not on competition, but on the shared experience – and, of course, the unique opportunity to experience real race atmosphere on our extraordinary course. Then the pace picked up: top-class professional cycling, speeds of more than 60 km/h, an incredible atmosphere, and countless personal conversations made the Power Day a truly memorable event. A big thank you to our panelists, our guests, the riders, our partners and sponsors, the many spectators – and above all to all our colleagues whose dedication and commitment made this day possible. Business. Innovation. Sports. People. Schwingshandl Power Day. 🎥 Watch the video for some highlights from the Schwingshandl Power Day 2026.

Preparations are in full swing for a day that brings together business, innovation, top-level sports and personal exchange. We will kick off the Power Day with our Insight Session “What it takes to win”, where we will discuss the factors behind long-term success together with our invited guests.
