Comau is a manufacturing automation specialist with deep roots in automotive production systems—but the project list reveals a broader pivot underway: powertrain assembly, EV battery systems, metal cutting, food & beverage, pharma, and shipyard automation. Their tech stack is heavy on industrial control (PLC, HMI, TIA Portal, RSLogix, PROFINET, EtherCAT) and CAD/CAM (CATIA, AutoCAD), grounded in Fanuc and ABB robotics platforms. Engineering-led hiring focused on robot application software and commissioning suggests Comau is scaling capability to deliver more custom simulation and virtual commissioning work—signaling a shift from hardware-centric sales toward software-enabled system integration.
Comau designs and deploys advanced automation systems, robotics, and digital solutions across automotive, aerospace, food & beverage, pharma, logistics, and renewable energy sectors. The company operates through two entities: Comau (headquartered in Turin, Italy, with 3,800 employees across 7 innovation centers and 11 manufacturing plants in 11 countries) and Automha (based in Bergamo, Italy, with 280 employees focused on automated storage and retrieval systems). The portfolio spans vehicle manufacturing systems, e-mobility solutions, powertrain assembly, and intralogistics. Comau also provides project management, consultancy, and training through an internationally recognized academy. Sales are driven by direct system delivery and project execution rather than off-the-shelf product adoption.
Comau uses CATIA and AutoCAD for design, SAP for operations, and specializes in control systems including PLC, HMI, TIA Portal, RSLogix, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. They build on Fanuc and ABB robotics platforms and employ Ignition for visualization.
Comau operates across automotive, e-mobility, aerospace, powertrain, shipbuilding, food & beverage, pharma, logistics, and renewable energy. Through subsidiary Automha, they also specialize in intralogistics and warehouse automation.
