AAE North America Expands Capabilities
February 1, 2026
AAE North America has announced significant growth initiatives following its acquisition of Solara Automation in July 2024. Solara Automation, a provider of custom automation solutions for the manufacturing sector, brings over 20 years of experience and a legacy of innovation to AAE North America's operations.
AAE North America is currently designing a state-of-the-art clean room to deliver advanced services tailored to evolving industry needs. In addition, AAE North America is planning a major expansion project, with the goal of growing into a 100,000-sq.-ft. facility in the coming years. This expansion is a key step in AAE's broader globalization strategy. Central to this approach is AAE's Local-for-Local strategy, which ensures proximity and partnership across continents, enabling customers to access world-class expertise close to home.
As part of its long-term growth plan, AAE North America will introduce three specialized business lines from Europe:
- Printing & Assembly Automation
- Contract Manufacturing of Advanced OEM Systems
- Ultra-Conditioned Precision Modules for the Semiconductor Industry.
"These additions, combined with a state-of-the-art machine shop, will position AAE North America to meet new industry standards and deliver highly specialized automation solutions," said a company spokesperson.
Jan Rutten, President, said: "The acquisition of Solara Automation marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy, strengthening our capabilities in advanced robotics, custom automation systems, and high-tech manufacturing support. Combined with our upcoming expansion projects, this step allows us to better serve a diverse range of industries-from semiconductor and medical technology to precision engineering-and reinforces our dedication to driving innovation, sustainability, and long-term value for our customers both today and in the future."
