TCGplayer, a technology platform for the collectibles industry and operator of an online marketplace for trading card games, has acquired Roca Robotics Inc.

Roca Robotics is a robotic card sorting machine, offering hobby store owners the ability to identify and physically sort cards from a catalogue of over 100,000 unique items. Roca Robotics offers proven services that have served over 125 million cards, allowing card store owners to focus on its customers rather than the logistics.

With the backing of TCGplayer, Roca intends to expand production capacity and accelerate innovative capabilities.

“TCGplayer is guided by a commitment to building tools that empower small- and mid-sized businesses and enable them to grow,” said Chedy Hampson, founder and CEO of TCGplayer. “This is why we have long admired Roca Robotics, a company dedicated to making cutting-edge retail solutions that save our local hobby store partners time and money,”
