Motus Handling designs, builds, and integrates custom automated material handling and intralogistics systems for industrial production environments.
From moving products along a production line to fully automated warehouse solutions, we engineer every step in between. Our systems handle conveying, lifting, rotating, aligning, inspecting, weighing, wrapping, strapping, labeling, palletizing, depalletizing, and pick-and-place operations.
Every project is built from scratch, tailored to the customer's process, layout, and operational requirements.
Motus Handling delivers material handling automation across a wide range of industrial sectors, including food & beverage, chemicals, building materials, plastics, recycling, and general manufacturing.
We do not specialize in a single industry. Our strength lies in understanding the customer's process and engineering a solution that fits, regardless of the sector. Projects are typically delivered in environments where reliability, robustness, and minimal downtime are non-negotiable.
All Motus Handling systems are custom-built.
We do not sell standard machines or off-the-shelf products. Every automated handling system is engineered specifically around the customer's process, production flow, space constraints, and future scalability. This approach results in solutions that fit technically and operationally.
Motus Handling automates physical material handling processes throughout production lines, internal logistics flows, and warehouse environments. Key application areas include:
● Loading and unloading: automated handling of products, pallets, containers, and carriers
● Transport and transfer: conveying, redirecting, and guiding products between process steps
● Lifting, lowering, and positioning: lift tables, elevators, tilting, rotating, and orienting
● Palletizing and depalletizing: automated stacking and unstacking, including layer handling
● Buffering and storage: accumulation, temporary storage, and flow decoupling
● Inspection and measurement: checking dimensions, weight, presence, and orientation
● Wrapping, strapping, and securing: preparing goods for transport or storage
● Sorting, separating, and pick & place: organizing and repositioning products within the flow
Each system is engineered around the customer's process, not around a specific technology.
Projects follow a structured, engineering-driven workflow:
1. Intake and consultation: understanding your process, constraints, and objectives
2. Proposal and agreement: clear scope, timeline, and budget
3. Design and engineering: custom system development
4. Manufacturing and assembly: built and tested in-house in Menen, Belgium
5. Installation and commissioning: on-site implementation and validation
6. Aftersales support: ongoing technical assistance and maintenance
Customers are actively involved throughout every phase. Short communication lines and a hands-on project approach are standard.
Both.
Motus Handling works directly with end customers, acting as the single point of responsibility for a complete turnkey automation project. We also collaborate with system integrators and automation partners where a broader project scope requires it.
The collaboration model depends on the project and the customer's preference.
Motus Handling is not a product company. Every system is engineered from the ground up, which means the solution always fits the process, not the other way around.
Key differentiators:
● Engineering-first approach: mechanical and system engineering at the core of every project
● Custom-built solutions: no standard machines, no compromises
● Hands-on, pragmatic project management: short lines, fast decisions
● Long-term customer relationships: we build for reliability and return
● Backed by the Valtech Group: financial stability and access to complementary expertise across 16 sister companies
The focus is always on working solutions: robust, reliable, and built to last.
Yes.
Motus Handling is part of the Valtech Group: a Belgian, family-owned industrial group of 16 independent machine-building companies, active worldwide. The group provides long-term financial stability and access to a broad network of complementary engineering expertise.
Being part of the Valtech Group means customers benefit from group-backed reliability, without losing the agility of working with a dedicated, specialized team.
Motus Handling regularly delivers complex, multi-system integrations in demanding industrial environments — involving heavy loads, high throughput, tight spatial constraints, and integration with existing production infrastructure.
Projects range from standalone handling modules to fully automated end-of-line systems and complete intralogistics solutions.
Yes.
Motus Handling manages large and complex projects through structured project management, strong in-house engineering, and, where needed, collaboration with partners and other Valtech Group companies.
Scalability is built into how we work: the same hands-on approach applies whether it's a single machine or a full warehouse automation project.
Yes.
Motus Handling acts as a single point of responsibility, from concept and engineering through to manufacturing, installation, and commissioning. Customers get one contact, one clear scope, and a fully operational system at the end.
Where the project scope requires it, we coordinate with partners and subcontractors, always under our own project management.
Yes.
Aftersales support is part of the standard offering, including technical assistance, spare parts supply, and maintenance support. We aim for long-term partnerships, not one-off deliveries.
Customers can count on responsive support from the same team that built the system.
Motus Handling is headquartered in Menen, Belgium, where engineering, assembly, and testing are all performed in-house at a modern industrial facility.
We deliver projects both locally, across Belgium and neighboring countries, and internationally.
