What Robamat Automatisierungstechnik does

Robamat Automatisierungstechnik Gesellschaft m.b.H. is an Austrian specialty manufacturer of industrial temperature control equipment for die casting foundries and automotive manufacturing. Founded in 1979 in Gmunden, Austria by Ing. Heinrich Rothbauer and acquired in 1997 by Frech Internationale Beteiligungsgesellschaft (the holding entity of the Frech group), Robamat designs and builds oil tempering units (up to 350°C), water tempering units for aluminium and zinc die casting, pressurized suction units for defective tempering channels, thermal oil heating units for core boxes, multi-zone temperature control systems supporting up to 80 independent circuits, and mould cleaning units. The technical differentiators are two registered patents — a heating/cooling design for oil tempering units and a core breakage monitoring system developed in 2009 — combined with IE3 high-efficiency drive motors and the µP128 microprocessor controller with multilingual plain text display.

The company sells capital equipment through direct field sales (managed by Sales Manager Roland Luschtinetz, MBA, and Head of Internal Sales Andrea Fasekasch) and reaches global customers through the Frech group's network of more than 20 wholly-owned sales and service subsidiaries across Europe (Germany, Italy, UK, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, etc.), the Americas (USA, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico), and Asia (China, India, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong). Its publicly visible customer base is concentrated in automotive OEMs and tier-1 die casters, including Audi, BMW, Daimler, PSA/Peugeot, Dynacast, Georg Fischer Automobilguss, Handtmann, Martinrea Honsel, and Oskar Frech. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of configured industrial equipment on a quote basis; no pricing or revenue is publicly disclosed. The entity has a headcount of 1–10 employees, indicating that the Robamat legal entity is a focused product-line operation within the broader Frech group distribution and manufacturing footprint rather than a standalone large-scale enterprise.

Products and services

• Oil units (Ölgeräte) Oil tempering units for die casting moulds reaching flow temperatures up to 350°C. Available as single or dual circuit units with patented heating and cooling design for maximum heat transfer efficiency and minimal radiation loss. Combined with IE3 drive motors for energy efficiency. Used in die casting foundries and automotive manufacturing.
• Water units (Wassergeräte) Water tempering units for die casting moulds in aluminium and zinc die casting. Features intelligent pressure regulation and system pumps with steep characteristic curves for excellent heat transmission and cycle time reductions. Used in high-performance aluminium die casting operations.
• Water units for continuous core cooling Continuous core tempering units using multistage pumps allowing up to 10 cores with cooling cross sections of only 8mm². Provides homogeneous temperature levels and longer mould life. Designed for continuous core cooling in die casting foundries.
• Pressurized suction unit (Drucksauggeräte) Water tempering unit for defective tempering channels, enabling tempering of leaks up to 6mm diameter using a dual pump system (one to pump medium to defect, one to suction out). Used by die casting foundries to continue production with moulds that have defective tempering channels.
• Heating units (Heizgeräte) Thermal oil heating units for core box tempering with inorganic binding agents. Available in various configurations with flow temperatures up to 350°C for efficient preheating and production tempering. Used in foundry core shop operations.
• Multiple zone temperature control (Mehrzonentemperiergeräte) - Type 2511 High-performance multiple zone temperature control system for up to 80 independent circuits. Reduces cycle time significantly with contour-close channel systems and optimized spraying. Includes 10-fold distributors and VISO visualization unit for centralized control. Used in high-volume die casting operations.
• Mould cleaning units (Formreinigungsgerät) - Type 7201 Tempering channel cleaning units for periodic cleaning of die casting mould tempering channels. Removes pollutants like cracked oil, lime, and metal chips. Includes leakage testing, flow control, and decalcification capabilities using Curatech cleaning agents. Used by die casting foundries for mould maintenance.

Broad incumbents

• Lauda Dr. R. Wobser GmbH & Co. KG: Larger German specialist in temperature control, circulation chillers and thermostats. Overlaps with Robamat in industrial tempering/cooling but serves a much broader customer base including pharma, lab and semiconductor.
• Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH: Austrian/German maker of injection moulding machines and downstream auxiliaries including temperature controllers. Sells tempering equipment to plastics processors and casters as part of a broader plastics-processing portfolio.
• Bühler AG (Die Casting division): Swiss industrial group whose die-casting business supplies complete casting cells including thermal management subsystems. Comparable end customer base and adjacent to Robamat's mould-side tempering scope.

Direct peers

• Single Temperiertechnik GmbH: German manufacturer of water and oil tempering units for die casting and plastics moulds. Head-to-head competitor in core tempering equipment for foundries serving European automotive customers.
• StrikoWestofen GmbH: German manufacturer of melting and holding furnaces plus thermal process equipment for aluminium foundries. Comparable as a thermal-process-equipment vendor serving the same European die-casting customer base.
• HB-Therm AG: Swiss manufacturer of industrial temperature control units (water and oil tempering) used in plastics processing and metal die casting. Closely comparable to Robamat's product portfolio in single- and multi-circuit tempering units.
• Reglomat Temperiertechnik GmbH: German maker of tempering units for plastics and die casting applications. Directly competes in the same product category (oil/water tempering equipment) and serves overlapping European automotive and foundry customers.
• Tool-Temp AG: Swiss producer of industrial temperature control units for plastics and die casting. Competes in the same thermal-control niche and exports globally, similar to Robamat's geographic model.

Others

• Oskar Frech GmbH + Co. KG: Robamat's parent-affiliated die casting machine maker and listed end customer. Sells die casting cells into which Robamat's tempering units are integrated; relevant ecosystem reference rather than a head-to-head competitor.

Regional players

• Italpresse Gauss S.p.A. Italian maker of high-pressure die casting machines and cells. Overlaps with Robamat indirectly via shared end customers and complementary scope (machine side vs. tempering-side) within the European automotive foundry ecosystem.
