Robotic Automation has been acquired by Australian engineering and manufacturing company Varley Group, in a move both companies say will strengthen their ability to invest in automation and support Australian manufacturing.

Varley Group, established in 1886, is one of Australia's longest-established engineering companies and remains Australian owned and operated. Robotic Automation said becoming part of the group would provide a stronger platform for growth while maintaining the engineering expertise, customer relationships and service that have underpinned the business since its founding in 1988.

According to the company, the acquisition will provide access to greater engineering and technical resources, increased investment in automation and emerging technologies, expanded project delivery capability, and broader national service support. It also says the move will strengthen the company's long-term stability while reinforcing its commitment to local engineering expertise, Australian jobs and domestic manufacturing.

Robotic Automation will continue to operate under its existing brand, with the company saying the partnership brings together its automation expertise with Varley Group's engineering heritage to support future growth and innovation. The announcement comes at a time when many Australian engineering businesses are being acquired by overseas interests, with both companies positioning the partnership as an investment in sovereign manufacturing capability.
