Acme Celebrates 50 Years Across Four Key Industry Events

In 2025, Acme celebrates a remarkable milestone, 50 years of delivering intelligent, scalable solutions that power the region’s most advanced warehouses and supply chains. This legacy, built on trust, local expertise, and continuous innovation, was front and centre during an action-packed May, as Acme Intralog participated in four major trade shows across the GCC. 

From showcasing Acme Plus, Acme’s warehouse execution software platform, to presenting a range of UAE-made automation solutions, these events not only marked the company’s ongoing commitment to regional industry goals but also offered a glimpse into what the next 50 years may hold.

Showcasing UAE-Made Excellence: Acme’s May Trade Show Roundup

1. Make it in the Emirates (May 19-22, Abu Dhabi)

As a long-time UAE manufacturer, Acme joined this national initiative to highlight the power of local innovation. Visitors explored models of Acme’s Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) for pallet handling, showcasing the company’s UAE-made capabilities for efficient warehouse automation. Additionally, a robotic pick-and-place demo was featured at the Emirates Development Bank stand, highlighting collaborative efforts to accelerate Industry 4.0 initiatives through advanced automation and financial support.

2. Seamless Middle East (May 20-22, Dubai)

At Seamless 2025, Acme exhibited in the newly launched Home Delivery Middle East section, highlighting its growing role in fulfilment automation. The event was the stage for Acme Plus, the company’s hybrid Warehouse Management and Control System. Built in-house, Acme Plus combines real-time data insights with physical system orchestration, showing how software and hardware operate hand in hand to optimise operations.

The stand also drew attention with an interactive, AI-powered game featuring partner Cognex’s advanced barcode scanners, offering visitors a fun, hands-on experience with real warehouse technology.

Adding to Acme’s presence at the show, Atanas Khagerian, the company’s VP Sales, joined the opening panel discussion on the road to innovation and how technology is transforming logistics operations.

3. Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo (May 27-29, Riyadh)

At the Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo in Riyadh, Acme showcased Namla 2X, its latest two-axis shuttle system for high-throughput pallet storage. Designed to move pallets across both rows and lanes, the solution enables fast, space-efficient storage in high-density environments, which is particularly suited to the region’s trend towards taller, more complex warehousing.

With demand for automated storage on the rise in Saudi Arabia, Acme’s exhibit reflected its continued focus on developing scalable, locally optimised systems for the Kingdom’s evolving logistics needs.

4. IntraLogisteX (May 27-28, Abu Dhabi)

At the inaugural IntraLogisteX Abu Dhabi, Acme presented models of its high-density pallet AS/RS, illustrating how smart system design can maximise space while streamlining warehouse operations.

On the second day, Emprade Ebrahim, Director of Planning, delivered a technical session on tailoring AS/RS solutions to different operational needs, emphasising the impact of custom design on long-term performance.

50 Years of Acme – a legacy built on trust

Since 1975, Acme has evolved from a reliable local supplier into a regional technology leader, delivering integrated warehouse automation, from physical systems to proprietary software. With over 5,000 installations and operations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, and Colombia, Acme continues to shape intralogistics through in-house R&D, engineering, and software development.

This year’s 50th anniversary is more than a celebration of longevity; it reflects Acme’s enduring commitment to solving real-world intralogistics challenges with solutions tailored to local needs and built to scale.

As intralogistics continues to transform, Acme looks ahead with a clear goal: to lead with intelligent automation and modular software that empower businesses to adapt, grow, and compete. 

From smart data-driven platforms to engineered systems built in the UAE, Acme’s next chapter is grounded in the same principles that shaped its first 50 years: customer focus, reliability, and solutions built to evolve.
