Facilities maintenance equipment provider Conquest entered into a new national partnership earlier this month with commercial service robotics manufacturer Pudu Robotics.
The move is expected to give facility managers access to a range of AI-driven autonomous commercial cleaning robots.
The partnership between the Australian family‑owned Conquest and the Shenzhen-headquartered company aims to grow the adoption of robotic cleaning machines across Australia.
Conquest Robotics will expand its Conquest Intelligent Solutions program through Pudu’s offerings, giving customers an end-to-end pathway from initial assessment to deployment and support.
This includes robotics-readiness advice, site audits, tailored recommendations and live demonstrations within customer facilities.
Conquest says that the program is designed to help operations managers identify where autonomous cleaning can complement existing teams and improve productivity and cleaning results.
The company will also assess each facility, workflow and operational requirement before recommending a specific robotics solution.
“This is an exciting new chapter in the Conquest story. We are combining genuine global innovation from Pudu with the practical expertise and national service capability our customers already rely on,” says Conquest managing director Michael Mathews.
“Our goal is to make robotics easier to understand, easier to adopt and easier to own, while helping customers improve productivity and cleaning consistency without adding complexity to their operations.”
Amanda Wang, ANZ sales manager at Pudu Robotics, which has reportedly shipped over 130,000 robots to customers in more than 85 countries and regions, says that Australia is an important market for the next phase of intelligent cleaning.
“Conquest brings a wealth of floor-care expertise, strong customer relationships and the national service capability required to support robotics beyond initial deployment. Together, we can make Pudu’s innovation more accessible and deliver meaningful operational value for industrial and commercial customers.”
