Element Logic Acquires ABCO Systems to Expand U.S. Automation Capabilities

Element Logic, the world’s largest AutoStore integrator and a global leader in warehouse automation solutions, has announced the acquisition of ABCO Systems, a Carlstadt, New Jersey-based systems integrator specializing in end-to-end material handling and automation solutions. The acquisition strengthens Element Logic’s footprint in the Americas and marks a major step forward in its mission to revolutionize warehouse operations worldwide.

A Strategic Partnership Built on Complementary Strengths

Founded in 1985, Element Logic is renowned for optimizing warehouse performance through advanced technology, AI-driven software, and tailored automation solutions. ABCO Systems, with more than 30 years of experience, has earned a strong reputation delivering racking, mezzanines, shelving systems, robotics, and automated sortation solutions across industries such as e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL), retail, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage.

Previously owned by The Zaf Group, ABCO Systems employs approximately 50 specialists and has grown rapidly by designing and implementing scalable, forward-thinking warehouse solutions.

“Together, we can combine ABCO’s customer relationships and expertise with our automation capabilities to provide holistic warehouse solutions tailored to the North American market,” said Krish Nathan, CEO of the Americas at Element Logic.

Accelerating Automation Adoption in the U.S. Market

This acquisition enables Element Logic to offer full turn-key warehouse solutions — from storage infrastructure to platforms, robotics, and full-scale automation — without needing to outsource parts of the project. This sets Element Logic apart in a market still largely fragmented among specialized providers.

“Very few systems integrators have the ability to implement a full turn-key solution which includes anything from storage to platforms to automation and everything in between,” noted Seth Weisberg, CEO of ABCO Systems.

The combined expertise is expected to further accelerate the adoption of AutoStore and other cutting-edge technologies across U.S. warehousing sectors, helping businesses achieve greater efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.

A Key Milestone in Element Logic’s Global Growth Strategy

The acquisition aligns with Element Logic’s long-term strategy to become a full-spectrum automation partner across the globe. With the addition of ABCO’s deep market knowledge, domain expertise, and customer-centric approach, Element Logic is positioning itself to deliver even greater innovation in warehouse performance optimization.

“This acquisition is a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize warehouse performance worldwide,” said Ankush Malhotra, Group CEO of Element Logic.
