The Fremont expansion places Agility directly within the Silicon Valley talent pool, complementing its existing manufacturing operations in Salem, Oregon. The company plans to house nearly 200 employees at the site, focusing on hardware engineering, AI software development, and field operations to maintain its trajectory in the commercial robotics sector.

CEO Peggy Johnson stated that the proximity to regional innovation will allow the team to iterate on Digit’s skills more rapidly. With over 30 active customers—including names like GXO, Toyota, and Mercado Libre—and more than $300 million in orders for the Digit v5 model, the company is scaling its infrastructure to meet rising industrial demand for automated, human-centric labor. This move comes as Agility prepares for a public listing through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, positioning itself as a pure-play contender in the U.S. robotics market.
