Warehouse efficiency revolution: Element Logic acquires ABCO Systems

Element Logic®, the world’s largest AutoStore integrator and a leading global provider of automated warehouse solutions, is proud to announce the acquisition of ABCO Systems. ABCO Systems is a U.S.-based system integrator specializing in storage and automation solutions. This acquisition marks a pivotal milestone in Element Logic’s strategic expansion in the Americas and reinforces its commitment to revolutionizing warehouses worldwide.

A powerful partnership built on shared strengths

With over 30 years of experience in warehouse design and automation, ABCO Systems, previously owned by The Zaf Group – the family office of Mike and Robin Zafirovski, has established itself as a key automation player in the US market. Founded in Carlstadt, NJ, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering racking, pick mezzanines, storage solutions, and shelving systems – while steadily expanding its capabilities in automation. E-commerce, 3PL, retail, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage are some of the sectors ABCO serves. They provide tailored solutions including robotics, goods-to-person systems, and automated sortation to improve operational efficiency and scalability. Today, with approximately 50 employees, ABCO has shown tremendous growth by helping clients implement tailored, forward-thinking solutions.

We are thrilled to welcome ABCO Systems into the Element Logic family. This is more than an acquisition – it is a powerful partnership.

Krish Nathan, CEO of the Americas of Element Logic

“We are thrilled to welcome ABCO Systems into the Element Logic family,” Krish Nathan, CEO of the Americas of Element Logic, said. “This is more than an acquisition – it is a powerful partnership. Together, we can combine ABCO’s customer relationships and expertise with our automation capabilities to provide holistic warehouse solutions tailored to the North American market.” 

Supporting long-term strategy to become a full-spectrum automation partner 

The acquisition continues to strengthen Element Logic’s U.S. presence. ABCO and Element Logic’s complementary offerings are perfectly positioned to accelerate the adoption of AutoStore and other automation technologies in a market still ripe for transformation. 

Very few systems integrators have the ability to implement a full turn-key solution which includes anything from storage to platforms to automation and everything in between.

Seth Weisberg, CEO of ABCO Systems

“Element Logic and ABCO create a unique and powerful company within the industry. Very few systems integrators have the ability to implement a full turn-key solution which includes anything from storage to platforms to automation and everything in between.” Seth Weisberg, CEO of ABCO Systems, said. “Most have to farm out various aspects of any given project. Element Logic now has the ability to do individual solutions in brownfield buildings if that is what is required, or an entire greenfield solution.”  

This acquisition aligns seamlessly with Element Logic’s long-term strategy to broaden its diverse technology portfolio and serve as a full-spectrum automation partner.  

This acquisition is a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize warehouse performance worldwide.

Ankush Malhotra, Group CEO of Element Logic

“This acquisition is a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize warehouse performance worldwide,” Ankush Malhotra, Group CEO of Element Logic, said. “ABCO’s strong market position, deep domain and industry expertise and customer-centric approach make them a perfect fit. Together, this gives us the scale to be a full-spectrum automation partner in the Americas and bring world class innovation solutions to the market and our customer base. We are delighted to have the ABCO team join the Element Logic family.”
