The fischer Group of Companies has fully acquired the Viennese start-up BauBot. The family-owned company is thus taking the next step in further intensifying its activities in the field of robotics on construction sites.

‘The use of robotics is a paradigm shift in the construction industry to make building safer and more efficient. It can also be used to counter challenges such as the shortage of skilled labour,’ says Prof. Klaus Fischer, owner of the fischer Group of Companies. ‘The complete takeover of BauBot GmbH is therefore the next logical step for us in our successful collaboration with the start-up in order to jointly advance the use of robotics in construction.’

BauBot GmbH has been majority-owned by the fischer Group of Companies since 2022. Founded in 2017 with a focus on on-site 3D printing for paving stone structures, the young company soon established itself as a specialist for automation solutions in the construction industry.

In their successful strategic partnership, fischer and BauBot GmbH jointly developed the BauBot construction robot, which they launched on the market in 2022. In combination with a digital construction plan, the innovative helper enables fully automated drilling, cleaning and marking of drill holes in walls, floors and ceilings, as well as the future installation of fischer fastening solutions. From tunnel and bridge construction to the creation of drill holes for a high-bay warehouse, the fischer construction robot has already successfully demonstrated its advantages on various construction sites. It increases work efficiency, relieves workers of physically strenuous, stressful tasks, reduces the risk of injury to employees, lowers error rates, saves costs, accelerates construction progress and ultimately increases the success of the project. For the successful use of the BauBot, fischer offers a complete service from a single source, from planning and execution to documentation.

With the complete takeover of BauBot GmbH, fischer can now scale up further with the BauBot and increasingly tap into new and existing international markets. The Group continues to pursue its mission of making construction work safer and more efficient with fully mobile robot systems.
