What MPS Engineering does

MPS Engineering S.P.A. is an Italy-based industrial automation and intralogistics integrator headquartered in Salerno, operating through five specialized divisions: Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Naval, and Aerospace. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions customized automation solutions, with a core product portfolio spanning AGV MAXIMUM automated guided vehicles with magnetic induction wireless charging (payload capacity 15,000-40,000 kg, ±5 mm positioning accuracy), AMR autonomous mobile robots, Maxvert vertical automated warehouses (up to 7,000 mm height, 25,000 kg capacity), Maxraptor 2D four-way shuttle-based intensive pallet storage systems, and proprietary software including MaxKalyx and Maxlift-base for warehouse management and ERP/WMS integration. Underlying technology relies on magnetic induction power transfer for AGVs, sensor and camera-based autonomy for AMRs, and laser-pointer item location for vertical warehouse picking.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: hardware sales of automated storage and handling systems, customized consulting and design services, and post-sale professional services including training, maintenance, and revamping. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, reflecting a high-touch enterprise sales motion targeting industrial manufacturers, logistics operators, naval shipbuilders (notably Fincantieri SI for the ZEUS unit), and food/cold-chain customers. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales augmented by trade show presence at LogiMAT Stuttgart, Logistics & Automation Madrid, and Intralogistica Italia.

MPS Engineering has accumulated 254 completed projects over the past five years and 37 worldwide clients over ten years with a stated headcount of 25, organized around three engineering division leads (Massimo Pannullo for Mechanical, Massimo Contaldo for Electrical, Romeo D'Amore for Software) and a Director of Sales for Italy and International Markets (Matteo Apicella). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, FGAS, UNI EN ISO 3834-2:2006, and EN 1090 certifications, and registered its Maxraptor trademark in September 2025.
