Technology meets precision – Active Ants Germany is raising the bar with the introduction of a state-of-the-art robotic picking arm.

Germany’s e-commerce sector is at the heart of digital transformation, marked by fast growth, demanding consumers, and a clear emphasis on resilient, sustainable, and adaptable fulfilment.

bpostgroup signed an agreement with a view to acquire Staci, a European specialist in third party logistics.

In an age where we are increasingly focused on and concerned about the environment, sustainability has become a top priority for companies in various sectors.

bpostgroup acquires all shares of Active Ants, a subsidiary active in automated e-fulfilment for online stores. The transaction was signed on August 21, 2023.

No, online shops don’t sell air. But why do they pack so much air? Webshops in the United Kingdom send more than 14 million parcels a day. Active Ants UK contributes to this with some few thousands of packages a day.

Nearly one year ago, Active Ants announced opening its fifth fulfilment centre, in Northampton in the United Kingdom. 

We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a closer partnership with Scandinavias’ leading marketplace integrator Sello.

Active Ants’ fulfilment centre in the United Kingdom has been confirmed for an A+ sustainability rating by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is thanks to its 988 solar panels, rainwater reuse and smart lighting systems.

As an e-fulfilment company, Active Ants takes care of the entire logistics process. In this process, Dell PowerEdge servers form the brain that calculates the entire routing for the 80-plus robots driving around.
