Why McNetic

Automation shouldn’t be a question of budget or specialist expertise. Yet today, that’s exactly what it is: the controllers on the market are reliable, but expensive, dated, and often operable only through rigid building blocks and configuration generators. Anyone trying to solve an unusual task quickly hits a wall – and countless worthwhile projects are left undone as a result.

We want to change that. McNetic makes industrial control simpler, more flexible, and accessible to far more people – so that automation becomes possible where it used to fail.

Our Mission

McNetic reinvents industrial control. We build professional-grade hardware at affordable cost – and make programming it child's play.

Our Vision

We're convinced that the biggest hurdle in automation isn't the technology itself, but the complexity around it – the specialist knowledge, the effort, the cost. That's exactly the complexity we remove. With free programmability instead of rigid building blocks and configuration generators, control becomes not only more flexible, but also simpler – and therefore significantly more affordable. This opens up room for projects that seem unthinkable today – especially in small and medium-sized businesses, in the trades, and everywhere the hurdles once stood in the way.

What We Stand For

Honesty

We communicate openly, honestly, and fairly. We name problems and solve them together.

Vision

We think and act like entrepreneurs. In every solution, real value comes first.

Sustainability

Our solutions are simple, durable, and efficient. For us, robustness and resilience are sustainability in practice.

Reliability

What we promise, we deliver. Commitments apply to the whole company, and we all work to keep them.

Experience Meets Fresh Start

McNetic is a young brand – but not a young team. What sets us apart is a rare combination: hardware and software development under one roof. For over two decades, we have thought of both worlds as one. Our engineers spent 15 years in the automotive industry and, over many years, developed solutions for vehicle manufacturing, building automation, and medical technology – fields where reliability is non-negotiable. Today, we bring this wealth of experience into our own controllers, which we design and manufacture ourselves. McNetic emerged from Ingenieurbüro Petter in Dresden, which became part of McNetic GmbH & Co. KG in spring 2026.
