Overview
Berkshire Grey (Bedford, Massachusetts) builds AI-driven picking, packing, and sortation systems alongside mobile robots for warehouse and fulfillment automation. It was SPAC-listed in February 2021 and then taken private by SoftBank in a go-private merger that closed on July 20 2023 ($1.40 per share, about $375 million; SoftBank acquired the roughly 71.9% stake it did not already own). Reported customers include Walmart, Target, and FedEx (third-party/claimed). The registry records it at commercial maturity but cap-flags an honest absence: there is no quality-bar source on its 2024-2026 operating scale, headcount, or deployment status, since the verifiable record is concentrated on the 2023 acquisition. It continues to operate privately under SoftBank in a restructured form.
