Milestone demonstrates the scalability of XTEND's localized XFAB manufacturing strategy and the power of its XOS software platform across a growing global robotics ecosystem. Reflects the continued evolution from a robotics innovator to global physical AI platform company
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) announced that XTEND, a leader in AI-powered autonomy and software-defined robotics, has achieved a significant milestone in the execution of its global growth strategy. For the first time, during a single week, the Company produced seven robotic platforms across its five global manufacturing facilities, all of which are powered by XTEND’s proprietary XOS operating system.
STRIKER
The achievement reflects XTEND's continued evolution from a robotics innovator into a global physical AI platform company, combining distributed manufacturing with a unified software architecture. Today, XTEND's global XFAB manufacturing network operates across five countries—the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Latvia and Israel—where regional manufacturing operations are unified through XOS, enabling multiple robotic platforms to share a common intelligence layer while serving diverse operational missions.
M6F & X100
Unlike traditional robotics manufacturers that develop products independently, XTEND has built a software-first ecosystem where multiple robotic platforms can leverage the same operating system, AI capabilities and continuous software enhancements. This architecture enables XTEND to accelerate innovation, simplify integration, streamline product development and continuously expand the capabilities of its growing global installed base.
SCORPIO LITE
Seven robotic platforms were produced concurrently across XTEND's global manufacturing footprint, leveraging the Company's XFAB network and regional manufacturing capabilities. XTENDER systems were produced in Florida; STRIKER systems were produced in Virginia; M6F, X100, and Scorpio Lite platforms were produced in Singapore; AtlasPRO systems and advanced components were produced in Latvia; and RACER robotic systems were produced in Israel. Although each platform is designed for different missions and customer requirements, they all share the same XOS software foundation, enabling a common user experience with shared software services and continuous technology evolution across the portfolio.
RACER
Today, XTEND's XFAB manufacturing network spans five global manufacturing facilities, supports more than 20 robotic product families, has produced and deployed more than 12,500 systems, and serves customers in more than 30 countries worldwide. Together, this combination of localized manufacturing and a common software platform provides the Company with a scalable foundation to support increasing global demand for robotic systems.
XTENDER
"The future of robotics will not be defined by a single product, but by intelligent platforms that can scale across multiple products, customers, and markets," said Aviv Shapira, Chief Executive Officer of XTEND. "Over the past several years, we have built both the software platform and the manufacturing infrastructure to make that vision a reality. Producing seven robotic platforms across our global XFAB manufacturing network in a single week demonstrates the strength of this model and represents another important milestone in building the global infrastructure for Physical AI."
AtlasPro
XTEND's XFAB strategy is designed to combine localized manufacturing with centralized software innovation, allowing robotic platforms produced around the world to benefit from continuous improvements developed through XOS. As new capabilities are introduced, they can be deployed across multiple product families, accelerating innovation while providing customers with a consistent and continuously evolving operational experience.
As global demand for intelligent robotic systems continues to accelerate, XTEND’s combination of distributed manufacturing, AI-native software, and an expanding product ecosystem positions the Company to scale efficiently, support regional markets and strengthen its leadership in the rapidly growing physical AI industry.
