The US road trip is progressing well. See photos and updates at Mobotech Facebook Page.
Over the past two weeks, Mobotech have done three demos to companies along the way from Chicago to Charlotte, North Carolina.
- Saddle Creek Transport, a large 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) Company in the US South East. They were impressed with the Mobots and are keen to progress with trials once units are available.
- Bimbo Bakeries, Tennessee operation. They remain interested in discussing trials but from a National level. Magline will be leading the approach to this strategic customer.
- Dollar General, a major discount retailer throughout the US. We visited their massive Virginia Distribution Centre (DC). They have issues hand loading their 53ft trailers and see value in the Mobot. Trials are now being scheduled with them.
From here Moobtech continue on to do three key potential customer demos with Coca-Cola in Charlotte,Pepsi cola in Georgia and Dean Foods in Texas. Magline, having seen the good customer feedback so far, are now developing their manufacturing and distribution plans in order to support these trails.
The recent funding round remains open with NZ$200K still available. Would dearly like to have this extra capital to bring on the resource to help me get Mobotech established here in the US.

It is the question every capital allocator is asking about AI. Trillions of dollars are going into chips, data centres and power. That is […]
The Best of Both Worlds: How Omnique Fund is Rewiring Real World Assets via Tokenisation
For decades, the playbook for Australia’s wholesale investors has remained relatively unchanged: pick between the slow-moving, illiquid reliability of tangible assets like property and gold, or chase the frictionless, high-velocity liquidity of public equity and digital markets. But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
