What 1X Technologies does

1X Technologies LLC is a Wyoming-incorporated, privately held manufacturer and global master distributor founded in 2015 that operates a dual business spanning foundational electrical components and integrated robotics systems. Its legacy business under the 1XTECH brand produces and distributes advanced wire, cable, connectors, high-flex robotics cabling, copper coil windings, and custom wiring harnesses — positioned as the 'nervous system' for robotics, AI data centers, defense, and industrial automation — serving a customer base that includes Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon AWS, Apple, Tesla, ABB, Walt Disney Imagineering, NASA/SpaceX, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across more than 60 industries.

In June 2025 the company launched its 1X Innovations Division, extending into full robotics platforms — including the bipedal NEO humanoid robot, quadruped inspection robots, industrial manipulators, mobile service units, UAVs, subsea ROVs, and AI-enabled smart speakers — underpinned by two proprietary AI models: the 1X World Model (autonomous task learning from internet-scale video) and the Redwood AI model (whole-body manipulation on an onboard GPU), with compute provided by NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platform. NEO launched at $20,000 outright or a $499/month Robot-as-a-Service subscription in October 2025 and sold out its first-year production capacity of 10,000 units within five days.

The company generates revenue through direct B2B/B2C/B2G sales, a 50-state authorized distributor network, and custom manufacturing (50% deposit on made-to-order products), with planned capacity of 100,000 NEO units by 2027 from a newly opened 58,000-square-foot vertically integrated facility in Hayward, California, plus a planned San Carlos production hub. It is founder-led (Brandon Jonseck) with CEO Bernt Børnich and a recently appointed CFO (Mustally Hussain), and has reached sustained profitability entirely through organic growth with no disclosed venture capital funding.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ABB: ABB is a global industrial robotics and automation leader and a current 1X customer, training partner, and technology reference point. ABB competes as a broad incumbent offering industrial robots, drives, and automation while also being a destination channel for 1X's high-flex cabling products.
• Boston Dynamics: Boston Dynamics, now part of Hyundai, is the most established humanoid and quadruped robotics platform company with the Atlas humanoid and Spot quadruped lines. 1X's NEO and Quadruped robots directly overlap with Boston Dynamics' product categories and customer use cases.

Emerging players

• Sanctuary AI: Sanctuary AI builds the Phoenix general-purpose humanoid with a focus on embodied AI and dexterous manipulation in industrial settings. It is a direct emerging peer to NEO in the category of AI-first humanoid platforms pursuing commercial labor automation.
• Agility Robotics: Agility Robotics builds the Digit bipedal humanoid robot for logistics and warehouse applications, with recent commercial deployments. It is one of the most credible incumbent-leaning humanoid competitors and overlaps with 1X's industrial and warehousing customer use cases.
• Figure AI: Figure AI is a venture-funded humanoid robotics startup building the Figure 01/02 general-purpose bipedal platform with a focus on AI-driven manipulation. It represents the most directly competitive well-funded humanoid startup targeting commercial and eventually consumer deployment.
• Apptronik: Apptronik develops the Apollo humanoid robot for industrial and commercial use cases with partners such as Google DeepMind and Mercedes-Benz. As a focused humanoid startup, it is a comparable emerging player in the same bipedal general-purpose humanoid category as NEO.
• Tesla (Optimus): Tesla is developing the Optimus humanoid robot while also being a 1X customer for advanced electrical equipment. Both companies are pursuing mass-market bipedal humanoids with vertically-integrated AI, making Tesla the most strategically comparable emerging humanoid competitor.

Others

• NVIDIA: NVIDIA supplies the Jetson Thor compute platform that powers NEO and is a strategic technology partner showcased at GTC 2025. While not a direct competitor in wire/cable or finished robotics, NVIDIA is the foundational AI infrastructure provider enabling 1X's embodied AI roadmap.

Direct peers

• Belden: Belden is the leading specialty wire and cable manufacturer whose products 1X explicitly positions itself as a Belden equivalent supplier of. Both firms serve industrial automation, data centers, and broadcast/communications customers with similar cable portfolios, making them the closest direct peer in the foundational wire and cable business.
• Igus: Igus is a specialist in high-flex cables, energy chains, and cable carriers for robotics and motion applications, competing head-to-head with 1X's high-flex robotics cable system tested to 30 million bending cycles. Both serve robotic OEMs with engineered cable and dress-pack solutions for dynamic automation.
