Automaint Solutions

What Automaint Solutions does

Automaint Solutions is an Australian industrial automation and equipment manufacturer headquartered in Keilor Park, Melbourne, with a secondary office and factory in Tanunda, South Australia. Founded in 1983 and operating as a private proprietary limited company with 11-50 employees, the company designs, manufactures, installs, and services automation, robotics, and packaging machinery for manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand. Its proprietary portfolio includes the 3PE Bliss Tray Erector (up to 40 trays/minute), HSC Tray Inserter (up to 1,200 trays/hour), PR-30 Robotic Palletising Cell using KUKA robots (30-70kg cartons at 10/minute), Easyshot and Minishot cold gluing systems with PLC/HMI control, and a new cardboard punnet erector line. Alongside its own products, the company is the exclusive authorised Australian (and in some cases New Zealand) distributor for Meler hot melt gluing systems, Tecnobox tray erectors, Multi Erect tray erectors, and the full Concetti range of weighing, bulk bag filling, de-palletising, and open-mouth bagging systems.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining hardware sales (proprietary and distributed), professional services (custom special purpose machinery design via 3D CAD, installation, commissioning, and 24/7 breakdown maintenance), and spare parts supply. Pricing is entirely quote-based across all product lines, reflecting its enterprise B2B go-to-market targeting manufacturers in packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, and general industrial sectors. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a quote-request website channel; channel sales leverage its exclusive distributor relationships for branded equipment. Service revenue is recurring via 24/7 maintenance contracts and spare parts demand across an installed base of proprietary and distributed machinery throughout AU/NZ.
