What Sistronic SAS does

Sistronic SAS (legal name SISTEMAS ELECTRÓNICOS S.A.S) is a Colombian industrial automation and motion control systems integrator headquartered in Cali, founded in 1982 and operating with a team of approximately 18 employees. The company delivers integrated engineering solutions combining hardware supply, installation, programming, commissioning, and post-sale maintenance for industrial clients across seven verticals: food and beverage, pulp and paper, chemical and pharmaceutical, plastics and packaging, cement, metallurgical, and cable manufacturing. Named enterprise customers include Cementos Argos, Colombina S.A., Grupo Essity, Laboratorios Abbott, and MM Packaging, with the company stating it has served more than 300 companies over its 40+ year history.

Sistronic's product portfolio spans six core categories: motion control (AC/DC variable frequency drives, servo systems, soft starters); industrial automation (Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLCs, SCADA/HMI, sensors and encoders); motors and gearboxes (helical, worm, planetary, bevel); electrical assemblies (contactors, overload relays, custom control panels); machine safety (safety relays, light curtains, STO/SIL); and energy management and digitalization (SENTRON PAC, 7KN-POWERCENTER 3000, IoT/edge, digital twin). The technology stack is anchored by core OEM partnerships with Siemens and Control Techniques (Nidec Drives), supplemented by Weidmuller, Pilz, and Hohner. The company offers four professional services: equipment inspection and maintenance, technology migration (legacy-to-modern system upgrades such as Simatic S5 to S7-1500 and mechanical PIV to electronic servo), process analysis and continuous improvement, and technical training.

The business operates as a B2B sales-led, direct-to-enterprise integrator with contact-based quoting for custom solutions and multi-year service contracts. Distribution is concentrated in Colombia with phone-based enterprise sales (+57 317 370 1345), website inquiry forms, and physical presence at industry events (FASummit2024, Expoindustrial 2024, Siemens National Channel Convention). Marketing is content-led, leveraging the 'Aprende con Sistronic' blog (130+ articles) and a YouTube channel launched in 2024. Revenue is generated through two streams: industrial automation equipment sales (hardware) and engineering/integration services (professional services). No public revenue figure, funding rounds, or external investment are disclosed.
