Robotics pioneer Wootzano to swap County Durham for Tyneside in new HQ move

Robotics innovator Wootzano will move from its County Durham home to a new base on Tyneside to accommodate growth.
The boss of the firm, which has pioneered the development of ultra-dexterous fresh food packing robots, told BusinessLive the business will shift operations to Cobalt Business Park in the coming weeks amid continuing work to win overseas business. It marks a departure from Wootzano's NETPark base in Sedgefield, from where it has quickly built an international reputation for developing systems that boost productivity and solve labour shortages in the food production sector.
The technology business will soon occupy 14,000 sqft of the Cobalt 9B building formerly occupied by engineering giant Siemens. Atif Syed, the scientist founder of Wootzano, said the firm had outgrown its Sedgefield premises, where it does some assembly of its Avarai robots.
