Our Story

Specialists in Simplifying Complex Systems

Minitec d.o.o. is a Slovenian company specializing in the development of innovative automation solutions for production processes across a wide range of industries since 2007.

Our goal is to enhance your production by making it faster, more efficient, and aligned with the evolving standards of modern industry. Thanks to our extensive experience and adaptable approach, we serve as a trusted partner in improving productivity and strengthening market competitiveness.

Our journey began with the support of the renowned German company Minitec GmbH, whose name and product portfolio we adopted. A key element of our success is our proprietary aluminum profile system, Art of Simplicity — a modular solution designed for ease of use, cost-efficiency, and maximum flexibility to meet diverse customer needs.

We specialize in delivering comprehensive solutions in mechanical engineering — from initial design and custom-built production lines to on-site assembly and the programming of PLCs or robotic systems. Our team provides proven, reliable, and fully customized solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs. Backed by knowledge, experience, and passion, our experts are committed to delivering simple yet powerful results.

Our product portfolio supports these solutions with a wide range of components, including aluminum profile and linear systems, conveyor system parts, ergonomic workstation equipment, and safety components. As an official partner of the Italian manufacturer Minimotor, we also supply premium-quality electric motors.

In addition, we’ve developed two in-house brands:
Indupulse – industrial displays designed to perform in the most demanding environments, and
Kenzobox – modular outdoor kitchens created for those who value great food, time spent outdoors, and good company.

Our Mission is Clear

To equip your company with flexible and efficient solutions that support long-term growth and success.

We succeed today because we are committed to quality, continuous improvement, and adapting to our customers’ needs. Our approach is rooted in understanding industrial challenges and tailoring solutions that deliver measurable results. By simplifying complex processes and optimizing production, we have built lasting partnerships and earned trust as a reliable business partner.
