What Palomat does
Palomat is a Danish manufacturer of automated pallet magazines, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Nykøbing Mors, Denmark, where it produces its entire product range from a single factory using components from Siemens, Sick, SMC, and Linak. The company sells four hardware lines — PALOMAT® Stand Alone (Greenline, Flexomatic, 5, ½ Pallets, Double Up, Coldstore), PALOMAT® Inline (pneumatic and electric), PALOMAT® AGV, and PALOMAT® AMR 2.0 — all of which stack and destack empty pallets at floor level, eliminating manual lifting and the need for forklift-based pallet handling in production and warehouse environments. The portfolio spans semi-automatic standalone units through fully customized Inline subsystems for OEM integration and certified integrations with leading AMR/AGV fleets (MiR, Robotize, SAFELOG, Lowpad, KUKA, DS Automation, and BILA Group sister company Global AGV) via OPC UA and WISE-module interfaces.
The company sells primarily to enterprise manufacturers, food and dairy producers, packaging operations, and logistics facilities, with notable customers including Arla (multiple dairies), Thise Dairy, Dragsbæk, Karl Knauer, AO Workwear, and automation integrator Jorgensen Engineering. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a structured dealer network covering most of Europe, the USA, and Australia, supported by a 24/7-365 service hotline staffed by roughly 30 technicians. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales on a quote basis, supplemented by fee-based technical-support contracts; the cumulative installed base exceeds 20,000 units across more than 1,000 customized configurations. Palomat operates as an independent subsidiary within BILA Group A/S, with no public listing, no venture funding, and no disclosed revenue.

Palomat competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Hörmann: German industrial group with a logistics division that manufactures pallet stackers, dispensers, and pallet-handling automation equipment directly comparable to PALOMAT's stand-alone pallet magazine range for warehousing and production customers.
Broad incumbents
- SSI Schäfer: Global intralogistics vendor offering pallet racking, automated storage, conveyor and pallet-handling systems that overlap with PALOMAT's pallet magazine and integrated material-flow solutions.
- Dematic: Major KION-owned automated material handling and warehouse automation vendor offering pallet handling, ASRS, and AGV solutions that compete with PALOMAT's full product range within larger integrated contracts.
- Swisslog: KUKA-owned warehouse automation specialist offering pallet stacker cranes, AGVs, and integrated intralogistics that compete with PALOMAT's higher-end AGV/AMR pallet handling products at the system level.
- Knapp AG: Austrian intralogistics specialist with pallet stacker cranes, shuttle systems, and AGV/AMR offerings that address the same end customers as PALOMAT for high-throughput distribution and production logistics.
- TGW Logistics Group: European warehouse automation provider supplying pallet stackers, conveyor systems, and AGV-based pallet handling for retail distribution and manufacturing customers comparable to PALOMAT's target segments.
- Beumer Group: Global intralogistics and packaging machinery manufacturer whose palletizing and pallet-handling systems overlap with PALOMAT's inline and AGV/AMR product lines, especially in distribution, courier, and bulk goods sectors.
Others
