What IMT Technologies & Solutions does

IMT Technologies & Solutions s.r.o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Valašské Meziříčí, with a service office in Košice, Slovakia and a sales branch in Warsaw, Poland opened in 2020. The company supplies, integrates and services Surface Mount Technology (SMT) inspection, testing, manufacturing and automation solutions for medium-sized companies and large multinational corporations in the electronics, automotive and general engineering sectors, primarily across Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland) and more recently Serbia.

Its commercial offering combines authorized distribution of global OEMs — Koh Young (3D SPI/AOI), Panasonic Connect (screen printers, pick & place), Nordson Matrix (inline X-ray), Comet YXLON (2D/3D X-ray and NDT), Feinmetall (contact probes), Unites and Takaya (FCT/ICT and flying probe testers), Christian Koenen (stencils), SMT Thermal Discoveries (reflow ovens, since 2024), Cognex (machine vision, deepened 2025) and others — with proprietary IMT Production output, including custom single-purpose machines, testing jigs and fixtures, inline handler/testers, and vision systems. Installed-base scale cited by the company includes over 250 Koh Young machines and more than 200 Unites FCT/ICT testers across CZ/SK, plus 3 million+ Feinmetall contact probes delivered.

IMT's business model is enterprise field sales with a quote-based, multi-year contract pricing structure, executed through specialized departments (sales, SMT service, industrial automation service, in-house production). Revenue derives from hardware sales of equipment, custom machine/fixture manufacturing, and recurring professional services such as maintenance, calibration, training, custom X-ray inspection, custom ICT testing and NDT/CT scanning. Distribution is reinforced by event-driven marketing at MSV, Productronica, Amper and SMT Connect, plus technology seminars and partner webinars. The company is founder/management-owned, with Ing. Miroslav Kovář as executive director.
