Industrial automation and process control systems integrator
Contec delivers automation and control systems across food, chemical, and consumer goods manufacturing—built on Siemens PLC/SCADA, Rockwell Studio 5000, and Microsoft/.NET infrastructure. The tech stack reflects traditional industrial control environments (TIA Portal, WinCC, OPC, Profibus, EtherNet/IP), while pain points center on modernizing legacy operations: digitizing paper workflows, linking fragmented databases to ERP, and deploying MES/MOM systems. Engineering and manufacturing roles dominate the hiring mix, signaling sustained execution work rather than product pivots.
Contec is a Belgium-based system integrator founded in 1986, operating across electrical instrumentation, PLC/SCADA automation, MES/MOM deployment, and industrial IT. The company advises, designs, and realizes end-to-end system integrations for mid-market and large industrial clients in the food, chemical, petrochemical, tank terminal, and consumer goods sectors. At 250+ employees across engineering, manufacturing, and sales, Contec executes fixed-scope integration projects—from control logic design through production line commissioning. Current projects focus on MOM system rollouts, PLC programming, process digitalization, and procedure prototyping.
Siemens (TIA Portal, WinCC), Rockwell Automation (Studio 5000), and OPC/MQTT protocols. Microsoft SQL Server and .NET (ASP.NET MVC, C#, Entity Framework) handle backend systems.
