<p><span class="xn-location">KITCHENER, ON</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Feb. 15, 2018</span> /PRNewswire/ - Avidbots Corp. today announced that they have signed a distribution agreement with Macnica Inc., a supplier of specialty technology products in <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> and worldwide. Macnica will distribute the Neo self-driving floor scrubber across <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> to customers challenged by the largest labour shortage in the country in over 40 years. An aging and declining population has left Japanese companies desperate for workers, especially in facilities management and cleaning roles, sending labour costs skyrocketing. Macnica can now offer an autonomous floor cleaning robot that reduces labour requirements and costs while providing a higher quality and consistent cleaning service.</p>
