GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation. Manufacturers often needed more than a robotic system; they needed qualified people to engineer, launch, and sustain it, so GLOBAL brought automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof. With 17+ years of experience, 110+ team members, offices in four countries, and project experience across 22 countries, GLOBAL pairs practical automation expertise with people-first technical staffing for manufacturers building capable teams.
GLOBAL offers three engagement models. Contract staffing places a professional for a defined project or capacity need. Contract-to-hire lets you evaluate a candidate on the job before extending a permanent offer, and direct-hire recruiting fills a permanent role from the start. GLOBAL helps match the model to your timeline, workload, and long-term workforce plan.
You don't need a defined project to start a conversation. Tell us about your products, your processes, and your automation goals, and learn how GLOBAL approaches automation.
