About

Driving U.S. manufacturing
forward.

Why Formic exists, what we're building, and how to get involved: the mission, the news, the events, the resources, and the open roles.

Our mission

Accelerate the accessibility of automation.

Formic was founded to deliver more capacity, consistency, and reliability to every factory while reducing cost, downtime, and worker safety issues. Every manufacturer deserves access to state-of-the-art automation and a robot workforce without 18-month deployment timelines or capital risk.

Founded 2020 in Chicago, IL.
