Waste Robotics has announced a strategic partnership with Australian engineering company AE Gibson & Sons to deliver AI-powered waste sorting technologies across the country, with a strong focus on supporting local manufacturing and recycling operations.
The company said the agreement makes AE Gibson & Sons its official Licensed Integrator Partnership (LIPS) partner for Australia, enabling the deployment of robotic sorting solutions supported by local engineering and manufacturing expertise.
Waste Robotics said the collaboration forms part of its global strategy to accelerate adoption of intelligent sorting systems through regional partnerships.
“Partnering with AE Gibson & Sons is a meaningful step for us, not just in expanding to the Australian market, but in aligning with a team that understands industrial-grade machinery and shares our vision for smarter, safer, highly efficient processes,” said Luis Martins, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Waste Robotics.
Waste Robotics emphasised that AE Gibson & Sons, a fifth-generation family-owned business with two large-scale manufacturing centres, was chosen for its proven capabilities in building high-performance industrial machinery.
The company’s expertise includes renewable resource processing systems, waste management equipment, and advanced automation solutions.
Curtis Gibson, CEO of AE Gibson & Sons, said the collaboration aligns with customer needs for reliable and sustainable solutions.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Waste Robotics to deliver high-quality robotic waste sorting and recycling solutions to our customers across Australia. This collaboration brings together the strengths of both teams to offer advanced, sustainable, and efficient systems that customers can rely on for long-term performance.”
According to Waste Robotics, its LIPS program is central to its international growth, connecting local industry leaders with the company’s AI-powered waste sorting technologies.
By integrating with established manufacturing partners, the company said it can ensure facilities worldwide gain access to advanced robotics backed by local knowledge and service.
Waste Robotics said the new partnership is expected to boost operational efficiency for material recovery facilities and waste processors in Australia, reduce reliance on manual labour, and improve recovery rates.
The company added that it sees the agreement as a step toward helping the industry meet sustainability goals through advanced manufacturing and robotics.
