Leap Automation has received seven-figure funding from Alba Equity and Scottish Enterprise to help consolidate its lead in the food packing sector by increasing its team and strengthening its production, product development and support capabilities.
The Aberdeen-headquartered business - which also has a base in Edinburgh - builds robotic systems for end-of-line automation with fresh produce.
Currently employing 21 staff, the company's software enables systems to deliver more with less components and complexity than traditional packaging machinery.
