About EXOR

EXOR International, an Italian company operating globally, has been designing, developing and manufacturing solutions in HMI, control and Industrial IoT for nearly half a century. EXOR provides customers with easy-to-use tools which express a highly advanced technology fully responsive to the concepts of Industry 4.0. Founded in Verona in 1971, today it has 150 employees across Italy, Germany, USA and India. These EXOR branches are staffed with local experts to better understand the needs of those markets and provide the most responsive solutions. In addition, there are over 40 distributors worldwide that are added to the EXOR network. The design and production of our products remain focused in the Italian office. As an indication of our confidence in our product we are the only company in the world to offer a five-year standard hardware warranty. Over 80% of our turnover is realized in non-Italian markets. A precise business philosophy is followed which influences all the choices that are made: Everything in the company is the result of the collaboration of experience and talent, shared with new ideas and given space for our young engineers to express themselves. In an ever-changing economic environment rather than employing our resources on what might change, we prefer to focus on what will not change:

the need of our customers for our technology that reliably improves performance and security
the awareness that when entrepreneurs and decision makers take a choice for their automation processes, they know they are committing for many years.
