Advanced material handling (AMR) solution manufacturer Agilox has appointed Helmut Schmid as CEO, succeeding former CEO Franz Humer.
Schmid (pictured), who was the head of Germany and Western Europe at cobot manufacturer Universal Robots for many years, will continue ongoing strategies to expand Agilox’s global market share, the firm explained.
As the sole managing director, he also adds three new authorised signatories to the management team: Josef Baumann-Rott, Klaus Pucher and Robert Mayer.
With Schmid, an internationally experienced MD and robotics enthusiast, Agilox is continuing its path of further expansion. He was also former MD of the German cobot pioneer Franka Emika GmbH in Munich.
He has also founded several companies throughout his career and implemented scalable business models, often developing new sales processes and structures and devising new go-to-market strategies in a targeted manner.
“Agilox is a brand with a strong base and an equally high market potential,” said Schmid. “I look forward to contributing my experience to the company in order to continue to develop it profitably and position it durably on the market.”
Humer said it was essential to find a CEO that will continue Agilox’s successfully established strategy for the future while furthering its brand DNA. “In Helmut Schmid, Agilox is getting a CEO who will develop the company progressively and keep us on the right track for the future,” he added.
Humer is joining the board of Agilox as executive chairman and will prepare the company’s next strategic steps in product development and organisation in the US.
