Lacquey B.V. is the Robotics solutions company that enables full automation in the food & agri value chain based on its unique soft grippers. The company is a Dutch based robotics venture, aimed at unlocking the robotics / full automation potential in the global food & ag industry. Currently the food & ag industry does not yet apply robots in the value chain, as food products require sensitive handling, and are irregularly shaped. Lacquey has developed and successfully demonstrated that its proprietary grippers can handle food products in a sensitive and fast way, in a robust and cost effective manner. Lacquey is a spin off of the renowned Technical University Delft, in the Netherlands. Robotisation in the food & ag industry enables cost reduction, longer shelf time of fresh products, and new value chain organization.
