There is no question that 2018 was another huge year for AutonomouStuff, and growth was the overwhelming theme!
In 2018, we:
• more than doubled our physical infrastructure, adding a new operations facility in Morton, Illinois, and expanding our physical footprint in Beijing.
• dedicated an entire facility in Morton to engineering innovation.
• nearly doubled our staff.
• launched an innovation practice.
• built more than 200 custom platforms that are now being used for automated R&D.
• participated or exhibited in 55 events worldwide.
• experienced a nearly 40% growth in sales.
On top of all of this, we were acquired by Hexagon. Driving all this change is our fearless leader, Bobby Hambrick. He not only welcomes change, but seeks it out constantly, ensuring AutonomouStuff is ahead of the game and always preparing our customers and partners for the future of autonomy.
