Tpa is a company that designs, produces, and sells numerical control systems for the industrial automation, located in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan. Our systems include hardware – that is, numerical controls, input and output modules, servo-drives and brushless motors, industrial computers – and software, depending on the type of application. Today, we employ around 50 workers and we deliver ~1500 systems per year, grossing 7.2 million euros. Our initial market was Western Europe, but in the last ten years our company has broadened its sales, acquiring clients in Poland, Russia, Turkey, China, and Japan, as well. 60% of our yearly revenue comes from woodworking machines (machining centres and plants), 20% from digital printing, and the remaining 20% is derived from several custom projects, based on our customers’ specific requests.
