Company Performance Metrics
Granta Automation Ltd is a UK robotic palletising (palletizing) specialist and KUKA Platinum system partner, based in Linton, Cambridge. The company designs, builds, installs and supports end-of-line automation — robotic palletisers, automated container unloading, depalletising and cross-stacking systems, layer formers, autonomous mobile robots
(AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) — for manufacturers across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Granta covers the full range of palletising systems: high-payload modular robotic palletisers; high-speed compact palletisers that change pallets automatically while running; collaborative cobot palletisers that work safely alongside people; and a standardised, self-install prebuilt palletiser priced from £57,900. It is also the UK specialist in automated container unloading — emptying a shipping container and palletising the product at the far end — a capability unique to Granta in the UK. What sets Granta apart is its patented, operator-friendly programming software, which lets a customer's own staff set up a new stack pattern in minutes, together with deep gripper and application expertise. Every system ships fully CE/UKCA compliant, with a complete technical file and a Robot Safe Operation System as standard, and Granta is ISO 9001:2022 certified. Granta runs 20–30 palletising projects at any one time and orders its robots 25 at a time, making it one of the UK's highest-volume and most experienced palletising integrators. Its systems palletise well over 30,000 products an hour in live production, typically lift output by around 40%, remove manual-handling risk, and pay for themselves within a year. In-house service and support, plus lease and hire options, back every installation. Granta serves food and beverage, agriculture and animal feed, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical, construction-products, and distribution and haulage manufacturers.
