Company
Based on the enterprise that Joachim Oismüller and Martin Liehl, managing directors, established in 1996 and based on their expertise and experience in the automation industry, Inaut Automation GMBH, was founded in 2001, after only a few months of preparation.
To tend to those niche markets requiring special attention, Hans Peter Buber, a professional in electronic development, was taken on board the Inaut GMBH in 2001.
Based on standard products, we have been able to establish ourselves in new and interesting market segments. In this way, growth has increased steadily by almost 30% annually since 2001.
