Robotic mower manufacturer RC Mowers is set to bring its Autonomous Mowing Robot (AMR) dealer network outside of the United States. The company will expand to Australia, following a new partnership with Colbrook Industries, an industrial vegetation management machinery dealership near Melbourne.
“We’re thrilled to expand the footprint of our autonomous business outside the country. Like the U.S., Australian landscape companies are experiencing a severe ongoing labor shortage – and our AMRs solve that problem,” said Tim Kubista, vice president of sales and marketing for RC Mowers. “It’s a testament to our business-enhancing technology that a well-established dealership like Colbrook Industries believes our AMRs are a great solution for the Australian market. RC Mowers truly is addressing the global issue of labor shortages.”
Colbrook Industries began its professional association with RC Mowers by selling the company’s remote-operated robotic mowers prior to the development of the AMR. RC Mowers has been extending its network of AMR dealerships since the robotic mowers hit the market in 2023. Kubista said that a combination of ongoing labor challenges, a desire for improved ROI and RC Mowers’ customer support system have been the driving forces behind this expansion.
“AMRs allow landscapers to scale their businesses for growth because they allow one operator to generate the same revenue as a crew of three,” Kubista said. “Our technology gives landscapers the opportunity to turn typically low-profit or no-profit mowing services into actual money-makers. RC Mowers will continue to address the real problems in the landscaping industry through industry-leading innovation, in-depth partnering, and unparalleled customer support.”
