What B&O Engineering does

B&O Engineering (legal name: B&O Kereskedelmi, Szolgáltató és Tanácsadó Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) is a Hungarian industrial automation integrator and exclusive regional distributor founded in 2007 and headquartered in Komárom. The company designs and builds custom target machines, robot cells, and complete production-line automation for industrial manufacturers, while distributing and integrating third-party robotics platforms including Universal Robots and Fanuc/Kuka collaborative robots, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) autonomous mobile robots, RINCO ultrasonic welding systems (exclusive Hungarian distributor since 2008), OnRobot/Robotiq end-effectors, and Grimm Zuführtechnik part-feeding systems. B&O owns a 2000 m2 manufacturing facility enabling in-house mechanical and electrical production, and operates CE-certified, ISO/TS 15066-aligned safety engineering for collaborative workcells.

The company's revenue model combines one-time hardware and custom machine sales (custom robots cells, special-purpose machines, distributed robotics equipment), recurring maintenance and spare-parts services, and engineering consultancy (machine design, PLC programming, control systems, documentation). GTM is dual-channel: direct enterprise field sales with on-site survey-led full-lifecycle project execution, plus channel partnerships as a territory-exclusive distributor for major robotics OEMs. Customers are predominantly Tier-1 multinational manufacturers in automotive (Audi Hungária, Continental, Bosch Rexroth, TE Connectivity, Denso, Bridgestone), electronics (Jabil, Nokia, Legrand, Ibiden), and medical/food/industrial manufacturing (Coloplast, Hartmann, Electrolux, Grundfos, Flextronics), with 100+ robotic applications deployed across Europe.

The company is privately held by co-founders and Managing Directors Borsos Balázs and Óvári Attila, employs 40+ staff, and has been the recipient of multiple Hungarian GINOP grants (cumulative support of ~552M HUF across 2016-2023) for capacity expansion, R&D in collaborative end-effector safety systems, and complex technology development including IT and renewable energy infrastructure at the Komárom facility. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount, project footprint, and enterprise customer mix, the company is a mid-sized CEE industrial automation specialist with strong OEM distribution incumbencies.
