SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Primech Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: PMEC) (“Primech” or the “Company”), a Singapore-headquartered technology-driven facilities services and AI robotics group, today announced that its subsidiary, Primech AI Pte. Ltd. (“Primech AI”), signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Sunnytech, an electronics contract manufacturer based in San Jose, California, on October 20, 2026, to explore U.S.-based production, assembly, quality assurance, testing and certification support for its flagship autonomous restroom-cleaning robot, HYTRON.
The MOU establishes a framework for both companies to evaluate potential production and technical support arrangements in the United States, supporting Primech AI’s ongoing efforts to expand HYTRON’s international commercial presence.
MOU Scope and Next Steps
Under the MOU, Sunnytech may undertake production and assembly of HYTRON based on Primech AI’s specifications, together with quality assurance, product testing and certification support. Both companies will evaluate these potential arrangements ahead of any definitive agreement. The timing and scale of any U.S. production have not been determined and would be subject to further discussions, applicable certification requirements and the execution of a definitive agreement.
Strategic Rationale for U.S. Production
The MOU builds on Primech AI’s ongoing efforts to expand HYTRON’s international presence, including its previous showcase at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
Potential U.S.-based production could help shorten delivery lead times to customers in the region, while local quality assurance and product testing could support greater operational efficiency. Certification support under the MOU could also assist Primech AI in addressing applicable product safety requirements for the U.S. market.
Through the MOU, Primech AI and Sunnytech will evaluate how local production and technical support capabilities could contribute to HYTRON’s future commercialisation in the United States.
The proposed collaboration supports Primech AI’s broader strategy to strengthen HYTRON’s commercial presence in the U.S. market and develop a scalable international robotics business.
HYTRON Product Overview
HYTRON is a fully autonomous AI-powered restroom-cleaning robot designed to clean toilets, urinals, wash basins, sinks, mirrors and surrounding floor areas. Combining intelligent navigation with robotic manipulation, HYTRON automates repetitive cleaning tasks to support consistent hygiene standards and improve workforce productivity.
The robot’s autonomous capabilities include self-charging and automatic water refilling and discharge, reducing the need for continuous human intervention during routine operations. Its monitoring and reporting capabilities also provide facility operators with greater visibility into cleaning performance.
Built for demanding commercial environments, HYTRON addresses a practical operational need: helping facility operators maintain restroom hygiene while enabling cleaning teams to focus on other essential responsibilities.
