The HIMA Italia service portfolio includes the sale of safety-related automation solutions, project management, engineering and training.
Ronald Emig is the sole administrator of the new subsidiary.
The new 160m2 offices in Vimercate near Milan provide sufficient room for further personnel expansion.

The end customers include, amongst others, Agip, API, ENEL, ENI and SASOL as well as systems integrators and Italian contractors, who deliver to non-European end customers.
