What Inomatic does

Inomatic GmbH is a family-run German engineering company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Nordhorn, Germany, with 11-50 employees. The company designs and manufactures CAN-Bus based electronic control systems for vehicles, serving special-purpose vehicle manufacturers, RV and camper converters, municipalities, fire departments, rescue services, and agricultural and construction machinery operators. Its product portfolio centers on the Pico-I and Pico-II central control units, application-specific control panels, the IBC Intelligent Battery Computer, the Solino CAN RGBW Interior Light, and CAN gateways, with the 'inomatic connect' mobile application extending these products into an IoT-connected fleet layer.

In-house manufacturing is a core capability: the company operates SMD and THT production lines with AOI and ICT testing and holds IPC-A-610 certification, supporting a 'Made in Germany' positioning that is relevant for regulated buyers such as emergency services. Inomatic is also the exclusive trading partner for Super B lithium batteries in selected markets, adding an energy storage product line to its hardware catalog and creating a bundled energy-and-controls value proposition for vehicle OEMs.

Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales (catalog controllers, panels, gateways, lights, battery computers), custom engineering services for vehicle-specific integration projects, and aftermarket parts, distributed via a field sales model. The customer mix spans public sector procurement (fire, rescue, municipalities) and private commercial buyers (vehicle converters and OEMs in RV, agricultural, and construction segments), with project-based professional services layered on top of the standardized product catalog.
