What INperfektion does

INperfektion GmbH is a privately held German industrial automation system integrator headquartered in Wegberg-Wildenrath, operating across approximately 11 to 50 employees. The company designs, programs, and commissions turnkey automation systems centered on industrial robotics and PLC controls, integrating robots from Fanuc, Kawasaki, ABB, Brooks, and KUKA into customer production lines for the automotive, steel/heavy industry, and general manufacturing sectors. Notable named deployments include robotic crankshaft packaging cells at ThyssenKrupp Gerlach, cobot-based CNC loading at Johne+Co, and coke transport cars co-developed with Danieli Corus for Voestalpine Stahl.

The product portfolio spans five core service lines: Robotics and Automation (including the proprietary RoboCon mobile robot welding cell), Heavy Industry Automation, Aluminum Profile Technology (delivered as a certified item pluspartner since 2021), Service/Retrofit (24-hour service, modernization of aging equipment), and Spare Parts Supply (including discontinued components and express delivery). Proprietary offerings include the INmate worker assistance system, which uses 2D/3D camera-based hand recognition to support manual production tasks, and INSCAN Lite, a modular plant phenotyping platform developed with Phenospex for greenhouse environments.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services (engineering, integration, commissioning) combined with hardware sales of robots, aluminum profile systems, and spare parts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting German Mittelstand and large industrial OEMs, supplemented by regional trade show presence (aaa series) and cross-border project delivery through the Interreg Meuse-Rhine STIPP framework into the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria. The company is founder/management-owned, with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and reports 29% annual growth alongside external validation from the FT1000 and Focus Business rankings.
