We are a dedicated team of professionals with a passion for grocery automation.

Our grocery automation solution was created with the grocer and the shopper in mind. Grocery is a complex industry, and bringing groceries online presents a number of unique challenges. We don’t let that stop us! Our team is on a mission to transform the grocery industry for the better.

Takeoff was founded in the fall of 2016 by José Vicente Aguerrevere and Max Pedró. Both Max and José bring a wealth of knowledge and passion for grocery from over a decade of executive experience in the grocery industry. Since then, Takeoff has flourished. We are over 180 employees around the globe, and growing!

We are on a mission to transform the grocery industry. We work together to reach new milestones and motivate each other towards excellence.

Over $1 Billion in brick-and-click sales with our grocery partners.

Takeoff’s micro fulfillment solution is so efficient that we can operate at a lower cost-to-serve than a traditional brick & mortar store. This has the power to unlock cheaper grocery prices and democratize access to quality, nutritious foods around the world. We are passionate about using innovation to remove barriers.
