Elteco

What Elteco does

Elteco SRL is an Italian industrial automation engineering services firm founded in 1979 and headquartered in Breganze, province of Vicenza, in the Veneto region. The company delivers custom automation solutions for manufacturing clients, with core offerings spanning SCADA-based control and supervision systems, PLC programming across multiple platforms (Siemens, Omron, Allen Bradley, Schneider), Industry 4.0/5.0 interconnection, electrical panel design and construction, plant safety compliance, industrial plant revamping, and remote/on-site technical assistance. Its technology stack includes LabVIEW, Java, C++, C#, Visual Basic, .NET, Python, and SQL databases for SCADA development, and the firm is notable for migrating legacy systems (e.g., Siemens S5 to S7 with TIA Portal) and integrating heterogeneous equipment — including legacy machines lacking source code — with modern ERP/AS400 management systems.

The company's revenue model is primarily project-based professional services with a complementary managed services stream for maintenance and remote support. Engagement is direct, with engineering teams selling consultatively to plant, production, and maintenance managers at manufacturing facilities in Veneto (Vicenza, Padova, Treviso, Verona, Rovigo). Services are quoted per-project with no publicly disclosed pricing. Elteco serves nine industrial verticals — metallurgy, metalworking, plastics, paper, chemical/pharmaceutical, packaging, wood/furniture, and brick/stone — with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond Veneto and no publicly known customers (case-study clients are anonymized). The firm operates with 11–50 employees, is privately held with no disclosed investors or parent company, has no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents, no partnerships, and no published management team.
