German B2B robotics startup coboworx is making waves in the robotics industry with its recent €11.4M funding announcement. This investment will not only help the company expand its team and product offerings but also allow it to enter new markets and open an office in Munich. coboworx’s unique approach to robotics integration is gaining traction among companies, particularly SMEs, who struggle with a shortage of skilled workers for physically demanding and repetitive tasks.
The company’s modular design allows businesses to start with specific solutions for individual process steps and expand as needed, making robotics more accessible to a wider range of industries. coboworx’s current solutions include palletizing and machine loading/unloading, with future developments in welding, packaging, and material flow in intralogistics.

Georg Stockinger from SquareOne praised coboworx for its end-to-end solution that simplifies the entire process—from purchase to deployment, use, and financing. This simplicity is key for SMEs looking to integrate robotics into their operations without prior robotics expertise. Andy Bender from Northstar Family Holdings highlighted the revolutionary change happening in manufacturing both in Europe and the US, emphasizing the need for robotics on demand. coboworx is at the forefront of this movement, making complex robotic technologies affordable, accessible, and intuitive to use.
With its innovative approach and strong investor backing, coboworx is primed to reshape the global manufacturing landscape and lead the way in making robotics more accessible and beneficial for businesses of all sizes. It will be exciting to see how the company continues to grow and develop its platform in the coming years.
