Meet the GLOBAL Team

Engineering insight behind every technical placement.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation. From the beginning, the company recognized that manufacturers often need more than a robotic system or a staffing firm alone—they need both the technology and the people capable of bringing it to life. That insight shaped GLOBAL, combining automation solutions, services and technical staffing. Today, our 110+ team members support demanding manufacturing environments across North America and around the world. Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, GLOBAL remains closely connected to the automotive and industrial manufacturing ecosystem that drives the region. Our vision is straightforward: provide a single, accountable source for automation systems and the skilled engineers who keep production moving.
