About KEWAZO
KEWAZO GmbH is a German deep-tech company based in Garching near Munich that develops robotics and AI for industrial maintenance and construction. The core product is the LIFTBOT, a battery-powered, remote-controlled lifting robot that automates material transport on unstructured outdoor areas — for example during turnarounds at refineries and chemical plants, on capital projects and in scaffolding. The robot is complemented by the KEWAZO ONSITE data analytics platform for live on-site operational data and the KEWAZO CARE support program with training, annual maintenance, emergency support and hotline. The fleet is serviced and maintained at the workshop of the US site in Houston, Texas. Customers and partners include, among others, Altrad, Bilfinger, BASF Ludwigshafen, Nobian, BrandSafway and INEOS Styrolution.
