Alliance Automation

Alliance Automation is a system integrator that designs, builds and installs custom robotic automation systems for manufacturing production processes. Founded in Delphos, Ohio in August 2008, the company works across industries including automotive, consumer goods, food and beverage, battery and energy, and pallet and lumber. Its technical work spans robotic automation systems, manufacturing process optimization, custom machine design and build, and pallet and lumber automation.

The company's better-known products were developed for the pallet and lumber industry: the Robotic Pallet Dismantler, The Urban Sawmill, and Sort and Repair Systems. According to the company, these products contributed to nearly doubling pallet production while reducing labour requirements. Alliance Automation lists partnerships with CHEP, Whirlpool, Samsung, Dana and Bridgestone.

Alliance Automation grew from six employees at founding to over 30 by December 2008. It now operates from a 140,000 square foot engineering and manufacturing facility serving as headquarters in Van Wert, Ohio, and a 30,000 square foot manufacturing space in León, Guanajuato, Mexico; four locations have been consolidated under one roof. The company describes a culture of continuous evolution and expansion, having been started during the 2008 recession to serve underserved industries.
