LMT Automations

What LMT Automations does

LMT Automations is an India-based entrance automation company that designs, supplies, and installs motorized gates, shutters, blinds, pergolas, and pool covers, founded around 2008–2009. The company is headquartered with a corporate office in Kerala, operates a manufacturing unit in Navi Mumbai, and runs service centers across South India in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Vishakapatnam. Its product portfolio is built around European-engineered automation hardware sourced via partnerships with brands such as ALUTECH (Germany) and Abseco, and its installations are designed to integrate with major smart-home platforms (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit) and to react to environmental sensors (rain, wind) for automatic operation.

LMT serves two distinct customer segments: B2C residential homeowners — including premium and celebrity clientele seeking automated entrance and outdoor-living upgrades — and B2B builders, architects, and developers, with a stated network of 100+ channel partners and named relationships such as Adarsh Group and NVT Symphony. Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales, professional installation services, and a dealer network, with quote-based project pricing rather than disclosed list rates. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), and has recently extended its offering via the LMT Outdoors sub-brand focused on outdoor living.
