OPEX Corporation

What OPEX Corporation does

OPEX Corporation is a privately held, family-owned industrial automation company founded in 1976 and headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey. The company operates two integrated business divisions: Warehouse Automation, anchored by the Infinity and Perfect Pick automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) that use proprietary iBOT wireless robotic vehicles, Cortex warehouse execution software, and RPM cloud-based performance monitoring; and Document and Mail Automation, which spans production scanners (Falcon+, Gemini, and the recently launched Velo Series), mail opening and sorting systems (Model 72, OMATION, Mail Matrix), remittance processing (Eagle), and supporting software (CertainScan, Insight). Across both divisions, OPEX combines proprietary electromechanical hardware with embedded software and field services, holding more than 345 issued patents and serving 47 Fortune 100 companies across retail, healthcare, government, education, automotive, logistics, and other verticals.

The company generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise sales of capital equipment augmented by a global channel partner network spanning more than 40 countries, with multi-year contracts, professional services (installation, training, technical support), and recurring software as core monetization mechanics. Recent strategic moves — the January 2026 partnership with Peltier for AI-enabled multi-temperature cold storage, the February 2026 Velo Series scanner launch via partnership with DATAWIN/InoTec, and the May 2026 strategic partnership with systems integrator LD Systems — reflect a deliberate expansion into new verticals (grocery, pharmaceutical, life sciences), new product tiers (premium production scanners), and new go-to-market channels (U.S. systems integrators).

OPEX employs nearly 1,600 people globally, exhibits at major industry events including MODEX, LogiMAT, and CeMAT, and has been recognized with the 2025 Red Dot Design Award (Sure Sort X with Xtract), the 2026 ASRS Innovation of the Year Award, and the 2026 Warehouse Automation Solution of the Year Award. As a private company, OPEX does not disclose revenue or financial details; its scale signals — 50-year operating history, Fortune 100 customer penetration, global office footprint, and large patent portfolio — are consistent with a mid-to-large industrial automation OEM in the $500M–$1B revenue band.
