Aethon becomes part of the company's land systems segment.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) welcomes Aethon, Inc. (Aethon) to its Land Systems segment after it completed its 100% interest acquisition.

Aethon is a subsidiary of Vision Technologies Land Systems, Inc. (VTLS).

The acquisition was completed following the fulfillment of closing conditions. It was announced in July 2017 that the acquisition is worth $50m.

Aethon is best known for its TUG smart autonomous mobile robot which automates intralogistics in industrial, healthcare, hospitality sectors.

"The acquisition of Aethon, a leading provider of autonomous mobile robots for material transportation and delivery, is in line with ST Engineering’s focus to strengthen the Group’s robotics business," ST Engineering said.

Aethon has been added to the Land Systems sector.

The new acquisition is not expected to affect company performance for the current year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
