What Berger Positec does

Berger Positec, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech industrial automation specialist founded in 1995 and headquartered in Brno. The company designs, supplies, and integrates precision positioning systems, electric drives, and robotic systems for industrial manufacturing customers, with a product portfolio spanning articulated robots (up to 650 kg payload), collaborative cobots (LEXIUM LXMR up to 18 kg, AURA-170-28 up to 170 kg), SCARA and Delta robots, linear axes and manipulators, linear motors (standard and tubular), AC servomotors, stepper motors, planetary gearboxes, integrated servo drives, motion controllers, and sensors. The firm serves as a regional distribution and engineering partner, most notably holding an exclusive distribution arrangement with German manufacturer LEANTECHNIK for rack and pinion linear transmission systems (LIFGO, LEAN SL, LIFGO SVZ, LIFGO HP lines), and supports broad industrial protocol integration across Profinet, Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Powerlink, Modbus, and Sercos.

The company's business model is a direct, sales-led B2B motion combining hardware resale with bespoke engineering services. Pricing is quote-based and determined through technical consultation, custom design proposals, and on-site visits, with contract cadences that can extend to multi-year terms. Five revenue streams are evident: industrial robotics and motion systems, electric drives and motors, linear motion components, engineering/consulting services, and control systems/electronics — all hardware- or professional-services-oriented with no software/SaaS component. The customer base is described in horizontal terms across industrial manufacturing (automotive, electronics, food processing, general industrial), targeting use cases such as automated assembly, pick-and-place, material handling, packaging, welding, and machine loading/unloading.

Marketing is constrained and relationship-driven rather than broad-reach: the firm participates in regional trade shows including the International Engineering Fair (MSV) in Brno and All About Automation in Wels, Austria, and publishes product catalogs, manuals, drawings, and EDS/GSD files for download. The company is small (1-10 employees), has no subsidiaries, no disclosed external investors, and no public listing; its sole office is at Palackého třída 186, Brno. Operating geographies are not formally disclosed but the DACH trade show presence and LEANTECHNIK German partnership imply cross-border commercial activity beyond the domestic Czech market.
