Automaatika has offices in Tallinn and Narva. The majority of the company's clients are active in the food and energy industries. Among the largest of the 50 or so clients on the books in 2005 were Valio and Metso Automation. Half of the company's assignments were carried out in Estonia itself and half in neighbouring countries, including Latvia and Russia.
