High-Performance Automation from a Single Source
Abele Automation is a provider based in Gersthofen near Augsburg specializing in high-performance automation. The company develops, designs, programs and implements automated special-purpose systems, special machinery and production lines – from concept development through electrical design with EPLAN P8 and control cabinet construction to commissioning. Core services include PLC programming (Siemens, Beckhoff), HMI development, robot and drive integration as well as vision systems and traceability. A second mainstay is facade automation: robot-based Building Maintenance Units (BMU) for cleaning, inspection and maintenance of special facades, plus drive and control technology for movable facades. Its solutions are aimed in particular at the automotive industry and medical technology in the injection molding sector. Founded in 1973, the company has over 50 years of experience in mechanical and plant engineering, has belonged to the seele Group since April 2025, and operates as a GmbH & Co. KG under Managing Director David Abele at its Gersthofen location.
