What it was about
In May 2025, the Swiss business magazine BILANZ featured Robonnement in its start-up section. The piece describes the principle we still work by: companies rent robots on subscription instead of buying them, and we take care of installation, maintenance and service. Two investors assess the model. We take the critical question about our own value creation seriously.
Where our own value lies
Today our work focuses on two areas: painting systems with Lesta robots for job coaters, paint shops and manufacturers, and cleaning, delivery and service robots for buildings, hospitals and factory halls. Our own share lies in installing robots in existing booths, in the carousels, axes and 2K dosing units we design ourselves, and in Robonnement OS, which records every job. More than 200 robots are running at more than 150 customers today.
Why it matters for customers
A company that uses a robot on subscription needs no capital request and no robotics department of its own. The case below shows what that looks like day to day: two robots on an old powder line that many considered unsuitable.
