Holman, a global leader in automotive services, has launched Holman Robotics, a new division designed to deliver what the company calls the industry’s first end-to-end robotic management solution.
This new offering combines solution design, flexible financing, and lifecycle asset management into one seamless model, making it easier for businesses to deploy robotics and industrial automation at scale.
“Robotic automation can transform a company’s operations, boost efficiency, and reduce expenses, but high upfront costs, technical complexities, and an overwhelming network of vendors often slows adoption. Holman is ready to change that,” said Chris Conroy, Holman CEO. “We are building upon decades of experience managing complex assets for our customers. As the industry’s premier fleet management provider, Holman helps businesses eliminate these barriers to entry and will deliver tailored robotics solutions that align with our customer’s business goals and operational workflows.”
