blue automation GmbH is an international engineering and automation specialist headquartered at Hauptstraße 67, 56477 Rennerod, Germany, founded on December 23, 2013 by Thomas Grahl, who started the company as a one-man engineering office. The firm has since grown to 11–50 employees and expanded operations to international locations in Poland, China, India, and the USA.

This approach, combined with their capacity for intercultural engineering collaboration across Europe, Asia, and North America, positions blue automation as a partner for complex, cross-border automation projects.
