Unitec High Tech Industrieprodukte Vertriebs GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung) is an enterprise to limited liability with center to Augsburg (Germany), than work in the field of the commerce of industrial members.
The company is been born to the end of years ' 80 on initiative of an Italian entrepreneur, Marino Vincenzo, than later on to important working experiences in the within of the field of the great systems of automation for the construction of motors vehicle to world-wide level, is decided to found Unitec in order to directly offer to qualified attendance in Germany to companies of the field metal worker and mechanic, electronic and of the distribution.
Mr. Marino thought in fact that the companies that they began to tighten in those new years relations trade them with enterprises situated in markets geographically distant could have met of the problems of operating and managerial character in the logistics and supplyings.
They would have run the risk that is to fragment too much the supplies and not to succeed therefore to coordinate supplyings also under a temporal point of view.
UNITEC, was placed on behalf therefore like risen of office a purchase-foreign country of such enterprises, that they turned out in fact to be devoid of specific acquaintances of the new market in which was gone to operate.
Beyond that of language type, one became in fact indispensable to arrange of all a series of managerial resources useful to implement an integration of the processes operated to you, logistic and trained (tasks to you to the several norms necessary customs lawyers and for the customs of the products is already only acquired to you).
UNITEC, realized therefore new services, to high added value, that they turned out of extreme importance for such companies and decreed the happened one of such company in the field of the services.
It was necessary consequently see again and to upgrade the organizational structure, in order to answer exactly to the new and various sollicitations to which was subordinate; it is in this phase that came particular mail attentiont the efficiency of the business processes.
As a result of that, Unitec acquire a greater competitiveness and began to define with more precision the supply services. From the experiences matured in fact, turned out obvious like, in a generalized manner, the business procedures contained enormous wastes hidden, in particolar way to care of the management of the supplies and to the relative activity of office, which, after all, never do not succeed to enter in regimen.
For this the supply integrated like method came proposed to the enterprises customers in order to catch up remarkable logistic advantages, managerial acts to you and.
An ulterior jump of quality came completed to half of the years ' 90 thanks to the complete informatizzation of the workflow business: today Unitec in fact has a system software ERP realized entire on the requirements of the enterprise, through which it succeeds to manage in real time the entire process of supplying, concurring to obtain it continues savings on the management of the information, not bounder to the paper material.
In the second half of years ' 90, Unitec abandoned linear the organizational outline of hierarchical type, not adapted to support the rhythms of increase of the transactions, for one structure to matrix, characterized from the division of the staff in job team. In this way fù possible to improve the degree of efficiency with which the activities come capacities end, increasing at the same time the motivation of the staff.

This guarantees therefore the quality of the products that Unitec supplies the own customers.
The choice to localize the company just in such geographic area has not been accidental.
