ABOUT ARA a new business division of Meccanotecnica Centro

Meccanotecnica Centro S.r.l. was founded in 1973. During the past 40


years the company specialized in design and construction of stamping
dies for automotive and white goods appliances.

In 2000 Meccanotecnica set up a division dedicated to


engineering and manufacturing customized automatic systems
for assembly operations, arc and resistance welding, part
handling, part testing.

13 years of expertise have been crystallized into the creation of an


autonomous brand named ARA (Advanced Robotic Applications),
supported by a flexible organization capable to supply systems for
the most efficient production process.
