GE Vernova Inc. announced on May 21 the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Robotech Automation, a robotics and automation systems integrator based near Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The acquisition aims to accelerate GE Vernova’s capabilities in robotics and automation.
The move is significant as it supports GE Vernova’s efforts to improve its supply chain through advanced robotics and automation solutions. Robotech employs about 35 people and specializes in customized automation systems by combining in-house design, engineering, and integration with manufacturing partners.
“Robotech brings exactly the kind of specialized talent, proprietary systems, and hands-on integration expertise that will accelerate what we’re building in robotics and automation at GE Vernova,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “GE Vernova is committed to advancing our capabilities in areas that are critical to how we operate and compete with excellence, and this acquisition is a focused, strategic step to add key talent, accelerate our organic programs, and establish a world-class robotics deployment capability within our Advanced Research Center.”
Carl Thibault and Francis Bourbonnais, co-founders of Robotech Automation, said: “We are proud of the strong, talented team behind Robotech’s success; they are what made this company what it is today. Joining GE Vernova, a long-time business partner whose values align closely with our own, marks an exciting new chapter and opportunity for our people. GE Vernova’s leadership truly understands the importance of innovation, automation, and robotics in staying competitive in the global market, and we are confident our team will thrive contributing to that vision. This opportunity will allow our employees to grow both technically and personally within a large solid organization that offers meaningful advancement opportunities and highly innovative projects.”
The proposed transaction would strengthen ongoing work at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center for deploying robotics across its supply chain with goals including improved safety as well as quality outcomes. The two companies are already collaborating on projects at U.S.-based factories located in Schenectady (New York) and Charleroi (Pennsylvania). Financial terms were not disclosed; closing is expected early third quarter of 2026 pending standard conditions.
GE Vernova has operated in Canada for more than 130 years with over 2,400 employees across six sites supporting energy infrastructure from power generation through grid orchestration.
