Mach, a Tier 1 supplier of autonomy systems for off-road equipment, has closed a $7 million funding round and secured several new partnerships with equipment manufacturers across agriculture, defense, and landcare. The Venture Collective led the round, with participation from Next Level Ventures and Midwest Growth Partners.

According to the company, the new capital will support production scaling and assist more than 25 OEMs currently integrating Mach’s hardware and software platform. Off-road sectors continue to cite labor shortages and safety demands as drivers of increased interest in autonomous equipment. Mach reports its technology has accumulated roughly 500,000 driverless miles and 250,000 operational hours.

As part of its expansion, Mach confirmed new agreements with OEMs including German agriculture and landcare manufacturer Amazone, Croatian defense robotics firm Dok-Ing, and U.S.-based Alamo Group. Representatives from these companies said autonomy is becoming a key requirement for customers facing workforce and efficiency pressures.

Mach CEO Colin Hurd said the company aims to provide OEMs with a standardized approach to autonomy that can be adapted across multiple types of machinery. Investors pointed to growing demand for commercially viable autonomy solutions in rugged environments.

Founded in 2023 through the merger of two autonomy companies, Mach develops a modular technology stack used in agriculture, construction, defense, landcare, mining, and maritime applications. Its system includes navigation, vision, phased-array radar, connectivity, remote-control tools, and fleet-management software intended to help manufacturers accelerate autonomous equipment development.
