Galluzzo was the visionary for IAM Robotics innovative mobile robotic arm solution. From the early days of building the first prototype in his garage, Galluzzo explains the changes, “It’s been a goal of ours to find someone that could lead the business, so I can focus on what I’m best at, which is the technology. Joel is someone that I admired in the Pittsburgh business community, and he has done an excellent job establishing our market traction and putting us on an accelerated growth path.”

“Joel knows what it takes to introduce advanced robots into industrial settings, and he has the integrity and commitment to be a champion for our customers, partners and employees,” continues Galluzzo. “I’m confident having Joel lead us, and I’m excited as we realize the promise of robots solving critical industry challenges.”

“When I started in the early days of autonomous material handling robots, we didn’t face the labor shortages, e-Commerce expectations, and intense competition that we face today. Having fully flexible operations and innovative distribution capabilities is now a business imperative,” says Reed. “The talented team at IAM took on the extremely difficult task of automating both material selection and transport and fielded a solution that gives our customers and the industry a platform for moving into the future.
