We convey the future.

Our goal

In the future, every package delivered worldwide will have touched a celluveyor cell.  

We are cellumation and our robots are upside down. Why should a robot move when it can also turn passengers when turned upside down while creating a surface with its wheels? That was the brilliant idea our founders Claudio Uriarte and Dr. Hendrik Thamer came up with at a robot football match.  

A company was born of this idea in 2017, and today we are all convinced that the power of beautiful and disruptive engineering can lead to a new and better efficient level of technological development. It energizes us when someone tells us that something cannot be done because it has always been done differently in the past.  

With this mindset, we develop and sell industry-changing products and services for the intralogistics of the future. We offer solutions for processes that could not previously be automated, allowing us to design the efficient, flexible and space-saving flow of goods of the future.

Founder Team cellumation

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Claudio Uriarte and Dr. Hendrik Thamer met while working at the research institute BIBA – Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik GmbH at the University of Bremen. There, they both gained valuable experience in the development of innovative production and logistics solutions. Ivan Kuznetsov joined the team as an electrical engineering specialist early on. Since then, they have shaped the work at cellumation.
