Foundation, The company has had an international reach from the very beginning. In fact, its foundation was linked to a project developed by Fiat at the beginning of the Seventies to construct a new plant in Russia that replicated the Mirafiori plant in Turin (Italy). The companies supporting Fiat in the project joined forces to create a consortium – COnsorzio MAcchine Utensili (or machine tool consortium) – which became COMAU.
In 2016, a completely collaborative system offered Italy's renowned coffee to the visitors at Automatica, the leading trade fair for smart automation and robotics.
