Geekplus has become the first warehouse robotics company to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, signalling a milestone moment in the commercialisation of mobile robotics and underscoring Asia’s growing role in shaping the future of smart logistics.
Geekplus, a global leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for warehouse automation, has successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) under the ticker 2590.HK. The move marks the first public listing of a dedicated warehouse AMR company, signalling a new era of maturity and market validation for the global smart logistics sector.
The IPO is the largest H-share offering by a robotics company to date and ranks among the top three listings in Hong Kong this year in terms of international subscription demand. The Hong Kong public offering was oversubscribed by more than 130 times, while the international tranche was covered over 30 times, reflecting strong institutional confidence in the future of automation-driven logistics.

What This Means for the Region
As Southeast Asia’s e-commerce and third-party logistics sectors continue to grow rapidly, Geekplus’ listing adds momentum to the region’s digital supply chain transformation. With operations in over 40 countries and more than 800 enterprise clients globally, the company’s presence and relevance in Asia Pacific logistics hubs, including Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, are likely to strengthen.
The move also highlights Hong Kong’s appeal as a capital-raising centre for robotics and industrial technology companies, a significant signal at a time when manufacturers across Asia are investing in smarter, more flexible warehouse operations.
Financial Maturity in a Nascent Sector
Geekplus reported revenues of RMB 2.4 billion in 2024, with a 45% compound annual growth rate from 2021 to 2024. Gross profit rose tenfold during the same period, with gross margins reaching 34.8%. While the company is not yet profitable, it has substantially narrowed its adjusted EBITDA losses, positioning itself as one of the few robotics companies nearing commercial break-even at scale.
Strong customer retention further underpins its growth, as key client repurchase rates reached 84.3% in 2024, indicating an increasing demand for modular and scalable AMR solutions.
Innovation at Scale
A key differentiator is Geekplus’ proprietary hybrid scheduling system, which can coordinate over 5,000 robots in a single warehouse, a critical capability for ultra-large facilities in markets such as China, Singapore, and Indonesia. This technological edge is viewed as a key competitive advantage in a sector characterised by increasing infrastructure complexity.
Looking ahead, Geekplus aims to deepen its footprint across Asia while pushing advancements in smart warehouse orchestration. As manufacturers and logistics providers pursue automation to improve speed, resilience, and labour efficiency, the company’s public listing marks a turning point in the industrial adoption of mobile robotics.
