Our History

Founded in 2015, Certion Automation was built on the idea that automation should work right the first time — and keep working. Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown from a hands-on retrofit shop into a full-service automation partner trusted by manufacturers, integrators, and engineers across North America.

We’ve led successful projects across robotics, electrical system retrofits, smart logistics, and automation consulting — always with a focus on clean execution, deep accountability, and systems that don’t fall apart when the consultant walks away.
