Meet the GLOBAL Team

Automation specialists focused on solving demanding manufacturing challenges.

Founded in 2008, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. Rather than separating systems integration from engineering staffing, GLOBAL built a unified model that gives manufacturers both the robotic system and the people to support it. Over 18+ years, the company has grown to 110+ team members with integration work across 22 countries, bringing automotive, EV, aerospace, heavy equipment, and general industrial experience to every project. For Houston manufacturers evaluating new capacity, modernization, or complex cells, GLOBAL applies that broad applications knowledge to local operational goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of automation does GLOBAL build?

GLOBAL builds custom robotic cells and turnkey lines for material handling, machine tending, welding, assembly, and vision-guided tasks. Systems are engineered around the customer's parts, rates, and quality goals rather than sold as fixed products. Controls and PLC integration are handled in-house so the robotics and logic arrive together.
