Attabotics Technology Transitions to New Ownership within LaFayette Systems

In an exciting development for the field of warehouse automation, Attabotics has announced its transition to new ownership under LaFayette Systems. This change marks the beginning of a new era for Attabotics, known for its goods-to-person cube storage technology, which is increasingly becoming a staple in modern warehouse management.

Founded in 1989, LaFayette Systems is a family-owned business that has built a reputation as a reliable partner in material handling automation over the past three decades. The strategic acquisition of Attabotics in September 2025 provides a robust financial foundation, as well as engineering and domain expertise necessary to enhance customer support and accelerate technology advancement.

Bruce Robbins, the founder of LaFayette, expressed optimism about this new venture: "As we begin this new chapter, our goal is simple: to pair the exceptional technology from Attabotics with LaFayette's warehouse automation expertise and customer-first culture. We believe that combination brings the right focus and discipline to the technology and allows us to deliver reliable, long-term value for our customers."

With the integration into LaFayette Systems, Attabotics retains its existing facility located at 10th St NE in Calgary, which will continue to serve as a center for key engineering, business, and manufacturing functions. The leadership team of Attabotics has been carefully structured to balance veteran experience with fresh perspectives. Key figures like Mark Dickinson, John Hickman, and Derek Fortier are staying on, ensuring a continuity of leadership that draws from the company’s rich heritage, while also bringing in new talent like Art Eldred to lead sales and software efforts.

Mark Dickinson, who has been part of the Attabotics team since 2020 and currently serves as Senior Vice President and General Manager, noted the importance of the new partnership. He stated, "Attabotics was built on innovative technology and strong engineering, and now as part of LaFayette Systems, we have the support to fully realize its potential. We're focused on accelerating development, improving reliability, and listening to what matters to customers, so that we can meet demand for technology that simplifies complex fulfillment operations."

The family of companies under LaFayette provides a comprehensive range of services and solutions, from conveyor systems to robotic technologies. This coast-to-coast presence ensures that Attabotics and its customers will benefit from a well-established network of expertise and resources. Moreover, the LaFayette commitment to customer advocacy underpins every interaction; immediate problem-solving and transparency are front and center as they strive to meet and exceed customer expectations. Each employee is dedicated to these values, ensuring that the customer remains the top priority.

Attabotics will soon showcase its innovations at the MODEX trade show in Atlanta from April 13-16, further solidifying its presence in the industry as a leader in robotic storage solutions. With LaFayette's backing, Attabotics is set to not only enhance its existing offerings but also develop new technologies that will redefine the standards of warehouse fulfillment.
