Bengaluru-based DiFACTO Robotics and Automation Pvt. Ltd. has acquired the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) portfolio of RoboFinish from Aurangabad’s Grind Master. The deal marks a significant milestone in DiFACTO’s strategy to expand its robotic and automation offerings in manufacturing. 

RoboFinish, developed by Grind Master over the past 14 years, includes robotic grinding, deburring, finishing, and machining technologies. Grind Master, known for over 30 patents in the metal-finishing space, has delivered more than 150 RoboFinish systems globally. 

Founded in 2007 and backed by StakeBoat Capital, DiFACTO serves industries such as automotive, transportation, and consumer goods, operating out of facilities in Bengaluru, Pune, and Michigan, USA. 

This acquisition will integrate RoboFinish’s advanced technologies into DiFACTO’s current automation solutions, enhancing its competitiveness and market reach. The company also confirmed its commitment to continue supporting RoboFinish’s existing clients. 

The move aligns with DiFACTO’s aggressive growth strategy, especially in global markets, and builds on its maiden financing round led by StakeBoat Capital in 2024.
