The BILA Group history

The story of BILA Group commences on the island of Mors in 1988 when a visionary young man named Per Bisgaard has an idea: to help food companies in the area enhance productivity. This marked the beginning of what is now known as BILA A/S.

 

In 1992, we developed the first pallet magazine, PALOMAT®, inspired by Per's own struggles with back problems and the ensuing necessity for a ground-level pallet-handling machine. During these years, Jan, Per's brother, joined the company – newly graduated and full of ideas.

 

After some years, a pivotal question emerged: If we can stack pallets, can we also stack products? This inquiry led to BILA's role as a distributor of Kawasaki industrial robots in 1999.

 

And from there, the journey accelerated.

The growing demand for automation and robotics prompted the 2016 expansion of our product range with Universal Robots' robotic arms. That same year, we introduced Global AGV, marking the initial step towards a heightened focus on logistics automation.

 

In 2017, BILA completed its first acquisition with Dan Palletiser, followed by REO-PACK, PJM, CF Matic, and KILDE Automation. These additions constitute BILA Group, solidifying our technological prowess as a robust automation partner for Scandinavian industrial enterprises. The consolidation also underscores an increased commitment to modular products, where components can be combined like building blocks to create reliable automation solutions.

 

Throughout the years, BILA Group has positioned itself as a leading force in the automation industry, dedicated to delivering high-performance and innovative solutions. Our journey continues, characterised by growth, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to optimising production processes to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.
