GPNET Automation

What GPNET Automation does

GPNET Automation is a privately-held industrial automation and electrical control services firm headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, founded in 2005 by Electrical Engineer Nasiris Perez. The company delivers customized automation solutions to industrial clients, spanning machinery and process automation, electrical installation, MCC and control panels, SCADA/HMI development, startup and commissioning support, and turnkey engineering project management. Its customer base consists primarily of enterprise industrial buyers across cement, beverage, food manufacturing, textile, energy generation, sugar, dairy, palm oil, paint, personal care, and airport/water infrastructure sectors, including multinational clients such as Cemex, Coca-Cola-Bepensa, Nestlé Dominicana, Gildan, AES Itabo, Central Romana, and Quala Dominicana.

The company's technical stack centers on Siemens SIMATIC (S7-300/400 controllers, TIA Portal) and Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation (ControlLogix 5570/5580, CompactLogix, RSLogix 5000) platforms, supported by HMI/SCADA environments including iFix, Wonderware, FactoryTalk, and RSView 32, and distributed control protocols such as DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus, Modbus, and Remote IO. GPNET has executed legacy PLC migration projects (e.g., PLC-5 to ControlLogix for a 600MW AES Itabo plant, GE Fanuc and Modicom migrations to CompactLogix for Central Romana) and SCADA upgrades across cement, power generation, biomass, and water treatment facilities. In parallel with its systems-integration services, GPNET distributes its own proprietary hardware product, the Limitronic-K10® active power limiter, marketed to industrial and commercial customers seeking demand-charge reduction, with stated outcomes of 30-40% electricity bill savings and 4-6 month ROI.

GPNET operates a sales-led go-to-market centered on direct client consultation and customized engineering proposals; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per engagement. Revenue is generated from a blend of professional services (engineering, commissioning, training) and hardware sales through its authorized Siemens and Allen Bradley distribution channel, plus its own Limitronic-K10 product. The company is headquartered in a single Santo Domingo office and executes project work across the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Guatemala via on-site delivery rather than additional offices. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding history, parent company, or M&A activity.
