Under the leadership of its new management team, EMCO is taking its first concrete steps towards the future. With a clear strategy and a dynamic approach, the company has already charted a course for its development and for strengthening its competitiveness.
Hallein, February 2025 – The shortage of skilled personnel and rising labour costs are putting CNC manufacturing companies under severe strain. More and more companies are looking for efficient automation solutions to make their processes more economical and sustainable. It is against this backdrop that EMCO has decided to enter into an exclusive partnership with the Tyrolean start-up automation.eXpress. The common goal: to take the automation of loading and unloading EMCO machines to a new level with integrated, tailor-made solutions designed to maximise efficiency, flexibility and future safety.
