Oak Tree Hill and Cobotx today announce a strategic partnership focused on accelerating the growth and international expansion of Cobotx. Through this collaboration, both organisations combine their knowledge, vision and ambitions to jointly build human-centric solutions in collaborative robotics, automation and AI, with a clear European focus.
The partnership is rooted in a shared conviction: technology should support and empower people in how they work, produce and collaborate. This belief lies at the heart of Oak Tree Hill’s focus on human-centric technology and aligns seamlessly with the way Cobotx develops and implements robotics solutions.

Maarten Zijlstra, CEO of Cobotx, reflects on the journey so far and the road ahead:
“I am proud of the journey we have taken with Cobotx and of the people who have made this possible. We are now at a point where everything comes together: experience, momentum and strong ambition. From this foundation, we look ahead to continuing to build together and unlocking the full potential of collaborative robotics, automation and AI.”
Within the partnership, Cobotx will continue to operate as an independent organisation, with a strong focus on innovation and market development. Oak Tree Hill will contribute strategic support, experience in scaling organisations, and a European network. Together, this creates a solid foundation for accelerated growth and cross-border collaboration.
Emiel Putman, Managing Partner at Oak Tree Hill, adds:
“What immediately attracted us to Cobotx was not only the technology, but above all the people and the culture behind it. Maarten and the team have built something with a clear human-centric vision and a strong foundation. We believe this is the key to sustainable growth”

The shared ambition is clear: shaping the future of collaborative robotics, automation and AI, and building a leading European player where people, technology and organisation are in balance.
