CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – GE Vernova Inc. announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Robotech Automation (“Robotech”), a specialized robotics and automation systems integrator based near Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to accelerate its robotics and automation capabilities.
Robotech is a private company that employs approximately 35 people and delivers customized automation solutions through a combination of in-house design, engineering, and integration capabilities supported by a network of trusted manufacturing partners.
“Robotech brings exactly the kind of specialized talent, proprietary systems, and hands-on integration expertise that will accelerate what we’re building in robotics and automation at GE Vernova,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “GE Vernova is committed to advancing our capabilities in areas that are critical to how we operate and compete with excellence, and this acquisition is a focused, strategic step to add key talent, accelerate our organic programs, and establish a world-class robotics deployment capability within our Advanced Research Center.”
“We are proud of the strong, talented team behind Robotech’s success, they are what made this company what it is today. Joining GE Vernova, a long-time business partner whose values align closely with our own, marks an exciting new chapter and opportunity for our people,” said Carl Thibault and Francis Bourbonnais, Robotech’s co-founders. “GE Vernova’s leadership truly understands the importance of innovation, automation, and robotics in staying competitive in the global market, and we are confident our team will thrive contributing to that vision. This opportunity will allow our employees to grow both technically and personally within a large, solid organization that offers meaningful advancement opportunities and highly innovative projects.”
The proposed transaction would augment ongoing robotics and automation efforts within the company’s Advanced Research Center (ARC) for deployment across the company’s supply chain to improve safety, quality, delivery and cost outcomes. The transaction also supports GE Vernova’s capital allocation strategy, which includes strategic, targeted M&A.
GE Vernova and Robotech are currently collaborating on active projects within GE Vernova’s supply chain, including at the company’s US factories in Schenectady, New York and Charleroi, Pennsylvania.
While financial terms of the acquisition are not being made public, the transaction is expected to close in early third quarter of 2026, subject to certain closing conditions.
