Increased market closeness and customer orientation as well as reinforcement for the on-site support are important advantages that HIMA offers with the new subsidiary. The HIMA Italia S. r. l. service portfolio includes the sale of safety-related automation solutions, project management, engineering, training as well as comprehensive service. Ronald Emig is the sole administrator of the new subsidiary. The new 160 square metre offices in Vimercate near Milan provide sufficient room for further personnel expansion; the team of four can therefore be successively increased if necessary.

In the past 20 years, HIMA has installed approximately 500 safety systems in Italy and, in the same period, has also sold almost the same amount in other countries via Italian contractors. With a market share of over 70%, HIMA is market leader in Italy in the core business of chemicals and petrochemicals as well as oil and gas. The end customers include, amongst others, Agip, API, ENEL, ENI and SASOL as well as systems integrators and Italian contractors (amongst others Technip and Snamprogetti), who deliver to non-European end customers, e.g. in the Middle East or Africa.

HIMA develops and manufactures products and solutions for safety-related automation tasks for the process and manufacturing industries. HIMA-solutions are used for applications up to SIL 4 (IEC 61508) or Kat. 4 (EN 954). These include, e.g. Emergency-Shutdown-Systems (ESD), Fire&Gas-Systems (F&G), Burner-Management-Systems (BMS) as well as High-Integrity-Pressure-Protection-Systems (HIPPS) as well as application solutions for conveyor systems, presses, paint shops, body welding facilities, assembly systems and lifts. The construction of safety-related, networked applications is made possible using safeethernet.
