Brand Manifesto

"Because nothing can change on the outside, if it doesn’t first change on the inside."







To advance from within is like pursuing continuous research for more, for there’s always more to analyse, more to invent, more to do, more to see.


Once you start, you can never stop! And it’s so exciting and revealing, when you realise that to think bigger, to foster growth while protecting the planet, you need to adopt micro-tools. To aim higher, first you have to go deeper. To see ahead, first you have to look closer. To make the difference, first you have to free your mind from bias. Then suddenly, a simple truth will appear, bright and clear: any kind of transformation must always start from within.


Because nothing can change on the outside, if it doesn’t change first on the inside. That’s the difference empowered by IMA AUTOMATION. IMA AUTOMATION. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, FROM WITHIN.

A Global Partner

One global partner for advanced industrial automation technologies

IMA AUTOMATION is the global partner for the supply of machines dedicated to the advanced automation world. We arise from the union of a historical network of companies, with profound technological know-how driven by vibrant passion for research and innovation activities. We synergically use the knowledge of the companies of the Group we are part of, to create highly customised, cutting-edge solutions. We shape our vision of the future to pursue a common goal, a structured offer of solutions and products with a strong innovative character. We do it in a sustainable, concrete way and with a strong digital accent.

s To Innovate

Innovation is the key of our growth

Innovation has always been the driver behind our activities, the starting point that allows us to combine uniqueness and flexibility in every design phase. We constantly work to ignore the ordinary and explore the extraordinary. Our research and development objectives integrate mechanics and electronics, alternate mechatronic and advanced robotics, to generate cutting-edge solutions specifically designed for the needs of our customers. Our strategies and our projects are permeated by a digital, technological, innovative and sustainable spirit: artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are just some examples of advanced automation that we use to improve and enhance aspects of production. We employ cobotic and robotic solutions, we virtualise factories and plants to intensify process’ control and efficiency.

Continuous Evolution

Creating a continuous evolution

We are more than an equipment manufacturer. We propose ourselves as a solution provider for our partners on the Automotive, E-Mobility, Electrical Motors, Medical Devices, Caps & Closures, Eye Care, Electro-Mechanics and Watchmaking. Thanks to our solid technical background, we achieved a leading position that has made excellence its strength. We follow all the design and production phases with meticulous attention, to anticipate the market’s demands and always be ready to be the first to trace the evolutionary path in each sector, through new proposals and disruptive developments. Thanks to endless technological scouting, we create and tie collaborations with international research centres able to strengthen and structure our creative capacity.

Fluid & Dynamic

A fluid reality capable of responding to change

We are deeply convinced that every type of transformation must start from within, always. Because only through evolution innovation can happen. This evolution is possible thanks to the experience and dynamism that has always distinguished IMA AUTOMATION. This is why we identify ourselves as a fluid reality that continuously harmonises and shapes itself within the sectors in which it operates, through a liquid and continuous reengineering of our structure and organisational processes. The engine that drives our growth is our constant passion for change.

Flawless Assembly

We work to obtain a flawless assembly

We pursue continuous research, because there is always more to analyse, to invent, to improve and to see. And every day it is more and more exciting to perceive how, to think big, you need to think small first. We aim high, aware of the fact that it is first necessary to go deeper. We look forward but we realise how essential it is to look closely. We design the micro with the intention of shaping the macro. Through the order we are able to combine infinitesimal elements to create a final product beyond perfection.

With its integrated network of companies, IMA AUTOMATION is capable of offering a worldwide coverage.

Sustainable From Whitin

Our commitment is tinged with Green

We believe that commitment to and respect for environmental issues, along with energy saving policies, are vital for a healthy and ethical business. This is why we are committed to concrete and long-term actions through our IMA ZERO corporate program, created to achieve sustainability objectives. IMA ZERO directly involves us in the application of all the necessary tools within the industrial environment to reduce emissions, energy waste and all those impacts on the environment that affect people’s quality of life. IMA AUTOMATION actively works as part of IMA ZERO in the IMA LOW (Low Impact program), to increase the sustainable practices of the Group and to preserve resources, and IMA E-MOB project which promotes investments in the research of new solutions and technologies for sustainable mobility.

People at the Centre

Our people are really at the centre

At the centre of IMA AUTOMATION strategy there are the people, with their competences and abilities. To excel in the business we count on high-profile professional qualities, with well-defined technical and specialist skills. And to ensure well-being and awareness, we structure growth paths that accompany all Group employees and allow them to increase specific skills and talents, without any form of discrimination. Gender equality is a daily commitment for us, aimed at guaranteeing equal opportunities, with the aim of valorising all the women and men who work in the company. We feed curiosity encouraging continuous acquisition of new skills and investing in training. This does not only mean initial preparation for new hires, but phased in over time.

Sensing Future

The future is advanced automation

We have a vision: our history and our ideas lead us to imagine a future in which advanced automation, robotics and sustainability are integrated in full harmony. We are working, implementing strategies and concrete actions, to ensure that this vision is realised day by day. A future to be built together with our stakeholders and research centres, to make machines more intelligent and efficient. All of this to continue building a better world, so that our communities can keep on looking at the world with bright eyes.
