Zurich, Switzerland / Hennef, Germany — December 4, 2025 — Voliro AG, a pioneer in aerial robotics for contact-based inspection, maintenance and repair of industrial assets at height, and MontiPower®, the global innovator in mechanical surface preparation, today announced a strategic partnership integrating MontiPower’s highest-rated surface treatment systems with the Voliro T aerial robotic platform.
This collaboration sets a new benchmark in industrial maintenance at height, enabling safe, efficient, and repeatable surface treatment operations in locations that were previously dangerous, costly, or impossible to access.
The partnership will fully integrate MontiPower’s state-of-the-art Bristle Blaster® and MBX® technologies—globally recognized for producing high-quality surface profiles—with the Voliro T, Voliro’s aerial robotic platform capable of delivering consistent pressure, precise tool orientation, and autonomous workflows to industrial assets at height.
The integrated solution will allow operators to:
By combining the most capable aerial robotics platform with world-class mechanical tooling, the two companies will deliver a fully integrated robotic surface treatment system designed for oil and gas, marine, renewable energy, heavy industry, and critical infrastructure assets.
Integrating MontiPower’s world-class surface treatment systems with Voliro’s aerial robotic platform allows us to expand our reach beyond ground level more readily, and deliver our same level of quality to customers with a hands-free application that protects high surfaces in a safer and more efficient way, said Frits Doddema, CEO of MontiPower. For the first time, precision surface preparation can be performed in places previously inaccessible, unsafe, or uneconomical. The future of industrial maintenance has arrived.
The collaboration also paves the way for automated documentation and quality assurance, with the Voliro platform capturing treatment parameters, tool contact data, and digital proof-of-work for asset owners and regulators.
This collaboration is an important step in Voliro’s progression toward enabling a full array of inspection, maintenance, and repair services at height, said Florian Gutzwiller, CEO of Voliro. Voliro has already redefined how NDT inspections can be conducted on the world’s industrial assets, and by integrating MontiPower’s industry-leading surface preparation tools onto the Voliro platform, our combined solution greatly expands the applications for which aerial robotics can be deployed.
