(SeaPRwire) – Hong Kong/New York, May 6, 2026 — Trollee Holdings Limited, a pioneer in AI-driven smart retail solutions, and AIMO Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-based commercial robotics firm, announced today that they have signed a Merger Framework Agreement. The combined entity will integrate smart retail technology with autonomous robotics to deliver end-to-end intelligent automation services for retail, commercial facilities, smart cities, and environmental monitoring.
The transaction forms a unified platform covering two strategic layers:
- Smart Retail & In-Store AI (Trollee): Trollee provides AI-powered smart shopping carts, real-time customer analytics, edge-based intelligent advertising, and seamless checkout solutions to major retail chains across Asia and Europe.
- Autonomous Robotics (AIMO): AIMO designs AI-driven outdoor patrol robots for shopping malls, property and facility management, public safety, and open-area surveillance—with flagship models purpose-built for real-world commercial environments.
“We are merging two complementary technology forces into one,” said Thim S Chiew, Global CEO of Trollee Holdings Limited. “Trollee brings the retail intelligence layer that understands customers and optimizes operations. AIMO contributes the physical autonomous presence that acts on those insights—from automated security and inventory monitoring to customer assistance inside and outside the store. Together, we have a complete retail automation stack.”
The merger capitalizes on multiple high-growth verticals where retail intelligence and robotics intersect:
Vertical Synergy
Smart Retail: Trollee’s in-store AI paired with AIMO’s facility patrol robots for automated security, inventory monitoring, and customer assistance.
Smart Cities & Public Spaces: AIMO’s autonomous patrol robots for surveillance, hazard detection, and facility management, enhanced by Trollee’s edge-based customer analytics for retail-adjacent public areas.
Environmental Monitoring: AIMO’s outdoor autonomous platforms for remote data collection, combined with Trollee’s real-time sensing capabilities.
Commercial Facilities & Logistics: AIMO’s custom robotic solutions for property management and security, integrated with Trollee’s asset tracking and smart retail platform.
“The retail industry is shifting toward AI-driven, frictionless experiences, and Trollee is at the forefront,” said Ricky Lei of AIMO. “By joining forces with AIMO’s autonomous robotics, we extend that intelligence beyond the shopping cart to the entire physical environment of the store, parking lot, and surrounding facility. This merger creates a seamless loop of data, insight, and action.”
Transaction Terms & Listing Plans
The merger framework agreement has been signed. Following the completion of the merger, the combined company intends to pursue a listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, either through a direct listing or a reverse takeover (RTO) of an existing publicly traded entity. The parties are evaluating the most efficient path to become a publicly traded company while continuing to execute their integrated business strategy.
The merged company will operate across North America, Greater China, Southeast Asia, Japan, South America, the Middle East, and South Africa, leveraging Trollee’s established retail footprint across Asia and Europe, and AIMO’s strong presence in the Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific robotics market, with accelerated expansion into these newly added high-growth regions.
“Our vision is an intelligent, autonomous retail ecosystem where real-time data and physical robotics work in harmony,” said Ricky Lei. “This merger creates a leader positioned to define the future of smart spaces, and our planned Nasdaq listing will provide the platform to accelerate that vision globally.”
