BALYO announced that they have been selected by the Behr Paint Company to equip four additional distribution centers across the USA. Over the course of 2023, BALYO will deploy a fleet of “REACHY" robots at each facility to automate storage and retrieval operations. Behr Paint Company is one of the manufacturers of paints, primers, decorative finishes, stains, surface preparation and application products for do-it-yourselfers and professionals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Chile.

To keep an optimized storage space and reduce operating costs of the USA distribution centers, Behr chose BALYO, a pioneer in driverless forklifts. BALYO robots not only automate operations, but also improve safety and reduce the damage often associated with the manual handling of goods. BALYO's innovations transform standard industrial forklifts so that they can work autonomously.

Using SLAM navigation and LiDAR, along with a host of other sensors. Specifically designed to operate in very tight aisle widths and space constraints at high elevations - such as narrow aisles and minimal pallet spacing in racks - REACHY robots offer a high level of accuracy, throughput and safety, meeting the high expectations set out by Behr. The simplicity of use and ease of deployment have been also decisive in Behr's decision to extend its fleet.
