Interroll acquires Sortteq: expanding sortation solutions for greater value to customers

This strategic acquisition initiates a close collaboration between Interroll and the two Sortteq founders, who will continue contributing their technical expertise as consultants. Their focus will be on advancing development and supporting the industrialisation of the chain belt sorter within Interroll's global operations.

Sortteq's modular technology enables new system configurations and expands throughput ranges, especially in parcel, postal, and e-commerce logistics. Its flagship Chain-Belt Sorter (CBS) features a space-efficient design capable of handling up to 10,000 parcels per hour.

With Interroll's presence in 36 countries and strong customer relationships, the acquisition accelerates innovation, closes product gaps, and enhances our global solution portfolio. The purchase price remains undisclosed.

"This acquisition is about delivering even more value to our customers," said Markus Asch, CEO of Interroll Group. "With Sortteq's modular sortation technology and Interroll's proven product and solutions platforms, global reach and service capabilities, we are creating a broader, smarter offering that meets real operational needs across industries and regions."

"Joining forces with Interroll is a major step forward for our customers," added Eric Willems, CEO of Sortteq. "We share the same commitment to modularity, performance, and customer-centric innovation. Together, we will be able to bring our proven solutions to more customers, more reliably and with greater long-term value."

With the integration of Sortteq's CBS Sorter, Interroll can now offer a seamless product spectrum for sortation, enabling customers to cover a wide range of throughput levels, object types, and automation goals. The enhanced portfolio is ideal for CEP, warehousing and distribution, fashion, retail, supermarket and e-groceries operations that demand flexibility, scalability, and reliability in sortation performance.

With this acquisition, customers of both companies will benefit from a broader range of proven solutions from a single provider, covering all major throughput requirements.
