What Trac does

TRAC d.o.o. is a Slovenia-based private engineering company founded in 1992 that specializes in automation and control of production processes for highly regulated industries. The company serves pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemicals, and food & beverage manufacturers, with a primary focus on pharmaceutical QC and bioprocessing. Its core product is the FMAP (Flexible Modular Automation Platform), an ISA-88 compliant process monitoring, control, and data management platform that integrates process and analytical equipment into a single system compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GMP. The flagship configuration, APAS (Automatic Preparation of Analytical Sample), combines FMAP modules (Liquid Dosing, Weighing, Homogenizing, Extraction) to automate full pharmaceutical QC sample preparation workflows. The company also offers the BT100 Blister Tester and TRAC PDBM as standalone products.

The firm operates on a project-based, direct enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing, delivering turn-key automation systems, engineering design services, technology transfers, and ongoing support. GTM is field-sales led, with executives presenting at international conferences (ISPE, Biotech Week Boston, Dublin Bioprocessing, MEDICA) to enterprise buyers. Named customers include Evonik Industries, PharmaCorp GmbH, BioAnalytica Inc., and Novex Pharma. The company claims 500+ finished projects across 28+ countries and holds Platinum AAA D&B creditworthiness certification for four consecutive years. Its operating model combines a project-services revenue base with a growing productized modular platform, with planned modules (Capping/Decapping, Filtration) and a consortium-backed plasma seed treatment initiative indicating modest vertical and product expansion beyond the core pharmaceutical automation niche.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Siemens (Process Automation / SIMATIC): Global automation incumbent offering SIMATIC PCS 7 / PCS neo and pharma-specific automation suites. Comparable because it competes for the same pharmaceutical process automation budget TRAC targets, though as a broad portfolio player rather than a niche QC specialist.
• Emerson Automation Solutions (DeltaV): Provider of DeltaV distributed control system and lifecycle services widely deployed in pharma and biotech. Comparable as an established pharma process automation competitor with ISA-88 batch capabilities and global service footprint.
• ABB Ability System 800xA: ABB's 800xA platform serves process industries including pharma with integrated automation, electrification, and safety. Comparable as a broad incumbent DCS/automation platform competitor to TRAC's FMAP in pharma plants.
• Rockwell Automation (PlantPAx): PlantPAx is Rockwell's process automation system for industries including pharma and F&B. Comparable as a broad incumbent control platform alternative to TRAC's FMAP for production-process customers.
• Honeywell Forge / Experion (Pharma): Honeywell's Experion and Forge platforms target pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturers. Comparable as a broad incumbent with deep pharma batch/ISA-88 functionality overlapping TRAC's market.

Emerging players

• Werum IT Solutions (Körber Pharma): Werum's PAS-X MES is the leading manufacturing execution system for pharma, complementing but not directly replacing process control. Comparable as an adjacent pharma software/automation peer that often co-sells with DCS/automation suppliers competing with TRAC.

Direct peers

• Tecan (Laboratory Automation): Tecan provides automated liquid handling, plate reading, and QC sample-prep workstations for pharma and biotech labs. Comparable because its Freedom EVO / Fluent platforms compete head-to-head with TRAC's APAS in pharmaceutical QC sample preparation.
• Hamilton Company (Microlab): Hamilton makes automated liquid dosing, diluting, and sample-prep workstations for pharma QC. Comparable as a direct competitor to TRAC's Liquid Dosing and APAS modules in pharmaceutical sample-preparation labs.
• Inomatika d.o.o. Slovenian partner of TRAC delivering automation and digitization solutions for pharmaceutical production. Comparable because it jointly enters markets with TRAC and operates in the same pharma process automation niche with overlapping system integration services.
• METTLER TOLEDO (Lab & Process): METTLER TOLEDO offers precision balances, automated dosing, and laboratory workflow solutions for regulated industries. Comparable because its precision weighing and dosing products directly overlap with TRAC's Weighing Module and broader lab automation portfolio.
