Micado Smart Engineering GmbH

Micado Smart Engineering GmbH is an Austrian engineering company based in Oberlienz, Tirol, founded in 1998. The company positions itself as an engineering partner for Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs, offering three core disciplines: tool and fixture construction, automation technology, and product development. Its work spans aerospace, automotive and general industry, with a strong specialization in composite (CFRP/GFRP) manufacturing. Micado's tool and fixture division builds precision tools and fixtures for the fiber composite industry, holding tolerances down to ±0.05 mm. Product types include forming tools, clamping fixtures, assembly fixtures, inspection fixtures, bonding and welding fixtures. The company states it has built over 1,000 fixtures and serves more than 50 regular customers, with references in aerospace serial production at Airbus, Boeing, FACC and Carbotech. It also mentions a patented product called Octopus FlexGrid. The automation division provides custom automation solutions and special-purpose machine construction from Austria, including robotics, manufacturing systems and CE-compliant commissioning for aerospace, automotive and industry. The product development arm covers the path from concept through design to approved serial production equipment. Micado emphasizes a seamless process across its three disciplines, structured project phases, clear responsibilities and documented handovers. The company is ISO 9001 certified and states it is EN 9100 ready. Its website lists trust references from Airbus, Boeing, Porsche, Bugatti, BMW, FACC, GKN, Greiner, Salewa and Atomic. The company markets itself on speed — from first conversation to a reliable quote in record time — and on measurable ROI, on-time delivery and series-ready output.
