From a young age, Franco Imbroll was always interested in how mechanical equipment works. He would spend countless hours in his father’s garage disassembling equipment to understand how it worked, even if he was not always able to assemble it all back together again.

“As time passed, I used to visit a friend of my father who was a former shipbuilding employee with excellent welding skills. His expertise invoked my interest in the mechanical engineering trade, which I pursued at MCAST,” he explains.

After graduating, Mr Imbroll spent three months working abroad to widen his knowledge. He was then accepted at Playmobil as a full-time tool maker. During that period, after work hours, he started his own workshop where he used to cater mainly for the marine industry. “The formation of iAutomate,” he says, “has expanded our operations to various industrial sectors.”
