Swiss robotics company KEMARO has secured $5 million in an initial pre-closing of its Series B round, marking an early step in a financing with a stated total target of $20 million.

The Eschlikon-based company develops autonomous industrial floor-cleaning robots designed for complex, high-debris environments. It said the new capital will be used to accelerate international growth, with a particular focus on scaling in the United States, expanding its product portfolio, strengthening its sales organization, and supporting ongoing product innovation.

As part of that push, KEMARO has established KEMARO Inc. and opened its first U.S. office in Atlanta. The company was founded by Thomas Oberholzer and is positioning the latest funding as part of a broader effort to grow its footprint in North America and beyond.
