SCOTT ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH SAVOYE
Scott Technology Ltd announces Partnership with one of the World’s Leading Storage
and Retrieval Companies.
Automation and robotics solutions provider, Scott Technology Limited (NZX: SCT), announces the
signing of a global partnership with Savoye, one of the world’s leading high-speed storage and
retrieval system organisation, as a further signal of Scott’s commitment to offering leading
technology in its chosen fields of expertise.
The relationship will allow Scott to expand its material handling and logistics systems to include the
critical component of automated carton storage and retrieval technology. This will seamlessly
integrate with Scott’s own conveying, sorting and palletising applications and enables the company
to offer a true end-to-end solution.
Scott CEO John Kippenberger, said: “The material handling and logistics business is already an
important part of the Scott global Group. This has largely been focused on Europe given the
successful legacy of the Alvey business which Scott acquired in 2018.
“We are excited about taking this existing carton handling and palletising technology to meat
processors, general frozen food manufacturers in several global markets – most notably the United
States - and believe the addition of the Savoye technology serves to strengthen this offer."
The partnership will expand the global reach and harness the natural strengths of both companies.
Scott and Savoye have extensive networks of global customers, facilities in multiple countries and a
combined history of over 160 years in business.
Savoye Director for Partnerships Hervé Aubert, said: “Savoye is very pleased to enter into this global
partnership with Scott which will enable the integration of Savoye's X-PTS® solution in a market
sector where Scott is a strong and renowned player. The combination of Scott's experience in end-
of-line solutions with Savoye's shuttle based X-PTS® storage solution will enable Scott to propose a
comprehensive solution for food applications".

Both companies have focused efforts on opportunities within the U.S. market, and this strategic
alignment will help realise these.
Savoye North America Director Paul Deveikis, said: "We're glad to enter this partnership where
Scott's and Savoye's U.S. teams will develop a common solution for U.S. food companies. Savoye
North America will be able to accompany and support Scott through our shuttle manufacturing
facilities (Aurora Illinois) and integration teams based in the U.S.".
Scott and Savoye are already well advanced on two large project opportunities, one in Australasia
and the other in the United States.
