Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics
technology for the supply chain, today announced it has entered
into commercial agreements with Walmart de México y Centroamérica
(MBV/BIVA: Walmex), to implement Symbotic’s industry-leading
warehouse automation systems in two of the retailer’s locations
near Mexico City.
Under the agreements, Symbotic will deploy its end-to-end
systems at two greenfield distribution centers, with the first site
currently breaking ground in the Bajio region of Mexico. The Bajio
site will be one of the largest in Walmex’s distribution network in
Mexico and marks the largest system Symbotic has deployed as a
single-phase project.
Symbotic established a new business entity, Symbotic Mexico, S.

growing global demand for warehouse automation. The new entity and
first customer agreements in the region represent meaningful
progress for Symbotic’s strategic international expansion
plans.
“We are pleased to welcome Walmex as a customer and to
implementing state-of-the-art automation within its Mexican network
that will enhance productivity in both its distribution centers and
stores,” said Rick Cohen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Symbotic. “This marks a significant milestone in Symbotic’s growth,
demonstrating the broad applicability of our systems and our
ability to provide revolutionary supply chain technology to a
global market.”
Symbotic’s robotic case picking systems play a strategic role in
supporting the retailer’s goal of modernizing its vast supply chain
network. The systems transform distribution centers for increased
efficiency, capacity, and worker safety, enabling faster shipments
to stores and increased inventory accuracy.
