Feb 6, 2025 | By Kailee Rainse

Munich-based ARX Robotics, a defense tech startup focusing on unmanned autonomous land systems, has opened a production facility for military robotic systems in the Munich area. The new facility will allow ARX Robotics to manufacture these systems at scale.
SUMMARY
- Munich-based ARX Robotics, a defense tech startup focusing on unmanned autonomous land systems, has opened a production facility for military robotic systems in the Munich area.
- ARX Robotics was founded by Marc Wietfeld, Stefan Roebel, and Maximilian Wied.
Marc Wietfeld, co-founder and CEO of Arx Robotics, says, “The opening of our new facility is a major milestone for us – not only with regards to the company’s mission but in the light of our strong commitment to supporting Ukraine. European armed forces face a structural disadvantage in mass of personnel and equipment compared to potential adversaries. Unmanned systems have the potential to bridge this capability gap—provided they can be produced at scale. Our new facility represents a significant step toward achieving this goal, enhancing Europe’s strategic autonomy and defence resilience.”
ARX Robotics has officially opened its production plant, marking an important step in its growth. The event was attended by German Bundestag members Florian Hahn and Dr. Andreas Lenz.

This move signals ARX Robotics is now in its scale-up phase, allowing them to produce military robotic systems on a larger scale to improve defense capabilities and technology.
With the new facility up and running, the company plans to increase production form new defense partnerships, and continue innovating in autonomous systems. This milestone strengthens global defense efforts by offering robotic solutions to meet changing security challenges.
Florian Hahn said, “Innovation needs courage and support – we must take responsibility”, Germany’s role in European security is shaped by its forward-thinking companies, especially in fields like software-defined defence and artificial intelligence.”
Dr. Andreas Lenz, adds, “What we see here today is not only technical and economic excellence but real military understanding.”
