RobotShop, the world’s leading robot store for personal and professional robot technology, announced today the acquisition of Lynxmotion Inc., a manufacturer based in Illinois that designs and produces a variety of robot parts and kits destined for the ever growing educational market.

RobotShop has been the most important distributor for Lynxmotion in Canada, USA and Europe, since 2003. Lynxmotion’s customers will greatly benefit from the incorporation of its activities into RobotShop’s core logistics and global infrastructure. This vertical integration will allow for greater control of costs and inventory, as well as a centralized and optimized service structure.
