Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • June 2026 Haarlem expansion targets EMEA demand for physical AI.
  • Kardex live demo events in April 2025 and 2026 show customer pull.
  • Revelio estimated 681 employees in Q1 2026, signaling operating continuity.

What critics are saying

  • SoftBank sold 71.9% in July 2023, and minority liquidity disappeared.
  • Delaware settlement approval on January 2, 2026 leaves merger litigation baggage.
  • If SoftBank deprioritizes robotics, Berkshire Grey becomes an orphaned subsidiary with no independent exit.

What makes Berkshire Grey unique

  • SoftBank wholly owns Berkshire Grey, backing long-horizon robotics deployments.
  • Haarlem center validates SKU testing, training, and regional support near Schiphol.
  • Kardex AutoStore integration delivers one-touch robotic picking from bins.

Berkshire Grey expands footprint in Europe.

Berkshire Grey expands footprint in Europe. Massachusetts-based robotic automation vendor opens customer engagement site near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Robotic automation provider Berkshire Grey will expand its European operations with the opening of a new "customer innovation center" in Haarlem, near Amsterdam, further strengthening its presence across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the Massachusetts-based company said on Wednesday. Located near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, one of Europe's leading transportation hubs, the facility will serve as a hub for customer engagement, solution validation, technical training, and regional support. The location also places Berkshire Grey at the center of the logistics and warehouse automation market serving Benelux, an economic region comprising Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg. That will provide proximity to retailers, logistics providers, warehouse operators, and systems integration partners. The move comes as demand for Berkshire Grey's solutions has increased significantly across the region as retailers, e-commerce companies, and logistics providers seek proven automation technologies capable of delivering measurable operational results, the firm said.
