GIOTTO SRL

What GIOTTO SRL does

GIOTTO SRL (trading as GIOTTO Automazioni) is an Italian system integrator founded in 2003 in Manerbio, Lombardy, that designs and builds bespoke special machines for industrial assembly, testing, and calibration processes. The company operates as a B2B engineering firm targeting enterprise manufacturers across four primary verticals: sensors and instrumentation (pressure transducers, inclinometers, magnetostrictive sensors), automotive (pressure regulators for hydrogen and methane, brake components, dashboard elements), electrotechnics and electromechanics (industrial plugs, pressure switches, EV charging equipment), and a long tail of other industries including food processing and consumer goods. All activities — mechanical design, software engineering, production, assembly, pre-testing, and on-site commissioning — are managed internally by a lean team of three mechanical and three software engineers supported by mechanical workshop and assembly staff, operating from a 1,200 sqm production facility occupied since 2023. The company is a certified National Instruments integrator with deep LabVIEW expertise, and since 2024 has been a member of the OMRON Innovation Network; the technology stack integrates NI instrumentation with proprietary software and multi-vendor robotics (SCARA, anthropomorphic, Cartesian) plus vision, laser, TIG, and ultrasonic welding, and helium leak-testing capabilities.

The business model is project-based: each machine is custom-developed against client specifications and priced individually, with revenue recognized on delivery and commissioning. A complementary after-sales revenue stream — 24-hour technical support, ongoing maintenance, calibration, and spare parts — provides recurring touchpoints across the installed base of 400+ completed machines deployed across 7 countries including Italy, the United States, and China. The company is privately held with a €40,000 share capital, no external institutional investment disclosed, ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2018 (renewed 2025-2028), and reaches customers through direct enterprise sales, an active brochure, LinkedIn presence, and earned media in industry publications such as 'Soluzioni di Assemblaggio e Meccatronica.' The company's positioning is built on tackling technically complex, non-standard applications that larger automation vendors decline, with no sector preclusion and willingness to integrate any robot or instrumentation brand required by the client.
