What Inprotec does

Inprotec Industrial Process Technologies S.r.l. is an Italian Main Automation Supplier founded in 1992 in Cinisello Balsamo (Milan), specializing in the design, engineering, integration, and commissioning of industrial automation, safety, and control systems for the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Chemical, and Power Plant industries. Its portfolio spans Integrated Control & Safety Systems (ICSS), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), Fire & Gas Systems (F&G), Burner Management Systems (BMS), SCADA/RTU, and High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS), with solutions built on third-party platforms from Schneider Electric (Foxboro, Triconex), Honeywell (Safety Manager, Analytics), Wonderware, HIMA, and GE. The company operates an in-house 2,000 m² testing facility in Milan for Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT/iFAT) and cabinet fabrication, and holds ISO 9001:2015, IEC 61508/61511, NFPA, TÜV Functional Safety Engineer, and exida certifications to qualify for safety-critical scopes.

Inprotec generates revenue primarily through project-based, custom-engineered contracts covering Basic/Detail Engineering, software development, cabinet fabrication, system integration, and commissioning/start-up, with pricing determined on a per-project basis. Hardware and equipment supply (field devices, MCC units, switchboards, metering components) and Loading & Metering Solutions — delivered in partnership with SAMPI — supplement the integration core, while affiliate CIEMME Progetti (acquired 2015, Varese) provides Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering services and affiliate INPROTEC Algérie (Algiers, 2001) plus INPROTEC Libya serve regional markets. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to IOC/NOC majors (Saudi Aramco, Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Total, ADNOC, Petrobras, Petronas, Sonatrach, Lukoil/ISAB, BASF, Borouge, Linde) with EPC-mediated channel partnerships (Samsung Engineering, Technip, Tecnimont, Petrofac, Honeywell Romania), operating across 30+ countries.
