B+N Group, Among the Top Cleaning Robot Fleet Operators

The Hungarian-owned B+N Group ranked 8th among the world's largest cleaning robot fleet operators according to an independent international survey by FieldBots Radar 2025, the facility management services company told MTI.

The company operates 176 ROBIN professional cleaning robots developed in-house, surpassing several global players in the international survey, including German, French, Japanese, and Chinese companies.

The announcement quoted Zakariás Boldizsár, the company's technology director, who said that the labor shortage in cleaning jobs is becoming increasingly serious, while the age of workers is constantly rising. Therefore, it was clear to them that if they wanted to maintain the quality of their services in the long term, they would have to automate certain processes. That is why they decided to create their own cleaning robot.

They pointed out that the development of ROBIN began in 2020. The robot is specifically designed for the efficient and safe cleaning of public buildings with high traffic and complex spaces, such as airports and hospitals. In addition, this development allows the approximately 15,000 people working in cleaning at B+N to focus on the quality of their work, thus taking a burden off their shoulders.

They emphasized that in Europe, robotic developments are primarily aimed at optimizing work processes, not reducing headcount, as the goal is to support human work: by taking on monotonous, physically demanding tasks, robots relieve the burden on employees.
