AutoStore Announces Global Supply Agreement With Amazon

AutoStore announced on August 13, 2026, that it had entered into a framework agreement with Amazon for the supply of automated warehouse systems.

What happened

AutoStore announced on August 13, 2026, that it had entered into a framework agreement with Amazon to supply automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) globally. The agreement sets terms for future procurement but does not include any current purchase obligations.

Why it matters

For operators considering automation at logistics sites, the announcement shows that the equipment involved is ASRS itself—the type used for warehouse tasks such as storing and retrieving goods and moving them to workers. However, the announcement covers only a framework for setting future procurement terms. Purchase quantities, deployment timing and locations have not been decided, so the scale or pace of deployment cannot be determined.
