History

Transbotics was founded in 1982 as the North American affiliate of Netzler & Dahlgren Co. AB, now Kollmorgen, a Swedish company, to acquire or license Netzler & Dahlgren control technologies and products for automated guided vehicles (“AGVs”) and to enhance, modify, and otherwise adapt them for use by customers in North America. On March 28, 1990, the Company successfully completed its initial public offering. On November 30, 2000, the Company’s license agreement with Netzler & Dahlgren was modified to allow the Company to pursue end user AGV business worldwide on a nonexclusive basis. In 2001, the Company started doing business under the name Transbotics Corporation and officially changed its corporate name from NDC Automation, Inc. through charter amendment in 2002. Netzler & Dahlgren, meanwhile, became Kollmorgen, and it continues to supply proprietary control technology and products to Transbotics Corporation.
