Pudu Robotics has announced the opening of its European headquarters in Neuss, Germany. This brings together sales, product demonstrations, training, warehousing and after-sales services.

The company serves customers across 16 industries, including retail, food and beverage, hospitality, healthcare, transportation, and education. Its European customers include retailers and hospitality groups such as EDEKA, Albert Heijn, Carrefour, Marriott, Van der Valk, Pizza Hut, Intermarché and Denner, as well as major transportation hubs such as Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Denner, a Swiss supermarket chain, for example, has deployed more than 200 PUDU CC1 Series cleaning robots across its store network.

The new HQ builds on Pudu Robotics' existing European offices, partner network and warehousing infrastructure in the Netherlands and Germany.

"Europe is an important growth market for Pudu Robotics. As adoption expands, customers need more than reliable robotic solutions - they need local teams and service capabilities that can support deployment and ongoing operations over the long term. Our European headquarters in Neuss strengthens our ability to work closely with partners and customers across the region and support the next phase of our growth," says Bella Sun, Vice President and General Manager for Europe at Pudu Robotics.
