Bastian Relocates in St. Louis
Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company, has relocated to an expanded facility to better accommodate the company’s rapidly growing robotics division in St. Louis, Mo.
Growth, technology, and innovation are at the core of the company’s business, proven through strong revenue growth from year to year.
In 2022, Bastian’s overall revenue increased nearly 82% from the previous year. With over 18 years of being a part of the St. Louis community, Bastian Solutions’ robotics division’s new location will enable its continued growth and expanded manufacturing capabilities in the area.
Production of Bastian’s, all new, CB18 automated guided forklifts will take place at the new St. Louis facility. The CB18 navigates without the need for costly infrastructure and a fleet of CB18s can be implemented quickly to make an immediate impact on operations.
The robotics division is also a leading integrator of industrial robotics systems and the home of Bastian Solutions SmartPick, a robotic bin picking solution, which was recently named a gold winner of the 2023 Edison Awards in the Enhanced Automation category.
“The demand for robotics is continuing to grow. We are eager to meet needs and exceed customer expectations by delivering high-quality, innovative systems for today’s fast-paced production and distribution environments,” said Jim Clark, vice president of manufacturing strategy and operations.
“We are excited to keep growing and investing in St. Louis and to continue to bring engineering and skilled manufacturing positions to the area.”
