JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) today announced that XTEND, a leading software systems and AI-powered robotics company, has completed the integration of Atlas into the XTEND organization.
This milestone follows XTEND’s strategic acquisition of the Latvia-based robotics company earlier this year and marks the completion of the operational integration of Atlas’ engineering, manufacturing, commercial, and product development divisions into XTEND’s global organization.
The Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) Representative Office in Israel has been involved into this project facilitating cooperation between XTEND, Latvian partners, and government institutions.
In addition to expanding XTEND’s manufacturing capacity, the integration significantly strengthens the company’s XOS ecosystem. Four operational intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms powered by XOS are being added to XTEND’s growing Marketplace ecosystem, alongside thousands of deployed robotic systems, advanced tactical communications technologies, and new intelligent hardware components that will become part of XTEND’s expanding Marketplace strategy.
As XTEND’s European manufacturing and engineering hub, XTEND XFAB Latvia significantly increases the company’s production capacity while reinforcing Latvia’s position as a key center for advanced robotics engineering and manufacturing.
As global demand for intelligent robotic systems continues to grow rapidly, the facility strengthens XTEND’s ability to serve NATO member states, European Union defense organizations, and allied nations through reliable regional manufacturing, resilient supply chains, scalable production, and local customer support closer to operational requirements.
The combined organization now provides XTEND with direct commercial access to approximately 40 European countries, significantly expanding the company’s regional market presence and customer reach.
Atlas brings one of Europe’s largest installed bases of operational ISR platforms into the XTEND ecosystem, with more than 4,200 robotic systems already deployed worldwide.
Its field-proven technologies support defense organizations, government agencies, and commercial operators across Europe and beyond through a highly flexible architecture in which every component can operate independently or as part of a fully integrated network.
The integration also accelerates XTEND’s strategy to replace legacy commercial drone platforms with autonomous, mission-ready systems that comply with the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
This positions the company to capitalize on Europe’s growing transition from commercial drones to specialized autonomous systems while establishing a foundation for continued expansion in North America.
“Completing the Atlas integration represents another major milestone in XTEND’s journey to become a global robotics company,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-founder and CEO of XTEND.
“We are building the infrastructure that enables organizations worldwide to deploy, manufacture, support, and scale robotics solutions. Atlas’ exceptional engineering talent, operational technologies, more than 4,200 deployed systems, and access to approximately 40 European markets significantly accelerate our vision of creating the operating system for Physical AI on a global scale.”
“Our strategy is fundamentally regional,” Shapira continued. “This integration also creates a natural opportunity to expand into the European security market while providing a scalable foundation for continued growth across both Europe and North America.”
XTEND now offers a significantly broader portfolio of operational solutions, including aerial intelligence, automated system deployment, ground robotics, tactical communications, ISR payloads, integrated surveillance capabilities, and intelligent robotics components powered by XOS.
All of these solutions are designed to operate within the company’s growing open Marketplace architecture.
The integration also expands XTEND’s communications capabilities with the addition of AtlasRADIO, a software-defined tactical communications platform that delivers secure mesh networking and embedded integration for robotic systems.
Designed for OEM solutions and network-centric architectures, the technology further strengthens XTEND’s communications portfolio while expanding the capabilities of its future platforms.
It also marks XTEND’s first expansion into intelligent, software-defined robotics components, which will be offered through the company’s growing Marketplace ecosystem.
Gal Gabison, General Manager of XTEND XFAB Latvia, added:
“Atlas has always been focused on developing reliable technologies that solve real operational challenges. Becoming part of XTEND allows us to preserve that legacy while expanding our engineering and manufacturing operations in Latvia, accelerating innovation, and serving customers around the world from a stronger regional base.
Together, we are building something far greater than either company could have achieved independently.”
The integration reinforces Latvia’s role as XTEND’s European manufacturing and engineering hub while significantly expanding the company’s XOS ecosystem, Marketplace capabilities, and long-term growth prospects across both the defense and security markets.
