What Automac Technology does

Automac Technology srl is an Italian industrial automation system integrator founded in 1998 and headquartered in Montichiari (Brescia), Italy. The company designs and implements custom automation systems for production machines, combining hardware (electrical panels, wiring, cabling) with software development across PLC, CNC, HMI/Panel PC/SCADA, motion control, and PLC-based web server applications. Its core technology stack is built on established industrial control platforms from partners including Siemens, Allen-Bradley (Rockwell), Omron, SEW-Eurodrive, and Pixsys, with the firm acting as the engineering layer that customizes and integrates these components for specific customer applications.

The company operates a B2B project-based business model, delivering turnkey automation projects directly to machine builders and end-user manufacturers, supplemented by ongoing technical assistance, remote support, retrofitting/obsolete-system replacement, and technical documentation services. It serves a diversified vertical base in which automotive is primary (Iveco, GKN Wheels, Hutchinson, Contitech, Grazioli Cesare, Bossini, Cotali, F.LLI Mori, Paltec), with adjacent presence in machine tools and transfer machines (ORT Italia, Ingotools, TRG, Crs), hosiery and footwear (Golden Lady, Pompeo, CSP International, Fap, Bram), printing (Tiber), temperature regulation (IECI), construction (SIPE), and dairy (cheese-making curd cutting). The company claims worldwide delivery across at least 11 countries, with international projects typically executed alongside Italian machine builders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as custom project quotes; the company has no external funding, no parent company, no identified acquisitions, and a stated headcount of 1-10.
