TGW Logistics reported a record 1.37 billion euros in revenue for the 2025/2026 business year, marking a 29 percent increase. The company also expanded its global footprint in October 2026 by opening a service center in Pune.
Why it matters
The firm is scaling its engineering capacity in India to sustain a long-term growth strategy that targets two billion euros in annual revenue by 2030. This expansion highlights the industry-wide push to access specialized technical talent for robotics and automation development.
The company invested 60 million euros into research and development, representing 4.4 percent of its total revenue. This R&D spend supports technologies like the SmartPocket system, which uses autonomous robots for automated pocket sorter operations.
The players
TGW Logistics
An international supplier of automated warehouse systems that integrates autonomous robotics and software for fulfillment centers.
The details
TGW Logistics relies on the SmartPocket system, which coordinates autonomous robots to manage individual item routing in high-speed fulfillment workflows. The new Pune facility serves as a hub for engineering and software development, housing technical teams tasked with refining these robotic sorting architectures. By moving these functions to a new geographic site, the firm aims to address the tightening supply of qualified automation professionals in its established European markets.
Timeline
The 2025/2026 business year ran from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
The company opened its 25th global site in Pune, India, in October 2026.
The firm has set a strategic revenue goal of two billion euros for 2030.
The Tech Race
TGW Logistics' expansion into Pune marks a tactical shift to secure the technical talent required to maintain its competitive edge in warehouse automation. This move places the firm in direct competition with global integrators also vying for engineering capacity to fuel their robotics product roadmaps.
The firm's growth and investment in R&D suggest that users of their logistics systems can expect continued iterations of the SmartPocket robotics platform. While the expansion focuses on internal engineering, these efforts are intended to improve system throughput and efficiency for operators in global retail and distribution.
The takeaway
TGW Logistics is leveraging record earnings to aggressively expand its engineering workforce in anticipation of its 2030 revenue targets. Analysts should monitor the company's future R&D disclosures to see if increased investment in Pune translates into faster deployment cycles for their autonomous sorting systems.
