Seltin Group, a company specialized in technical and engineering services for the automotive, industrial and defense sectors, invests in Sicily and chooses Termini Imerese as the base for its expansion in Southern Italy. The group, which has 85 employees, a turnover of over 6 million euros and operational offices in Bologna, Sant’Agata Bolognese and Malaga, Spain, has acquired a laboratory within the Mechatronics Valley Hub. The facility will become the technical and operational base for the company’s Sicilian activities and will be used as a coordination center for contracts in the defense, engineering, automotive and research and development sectors. The establishment strengthens the group’s presence in Southern Italy and aims to create new opportunities for the territory, both in terms of employment and training and industrial innovation.

Mineo: “Termini Imerese becomes attractive again for investments”
“The arrival of a group like Seltin represents a concrete sign of the renewed industrial attractiveness of Termini Imerese,” says Antonello Mineo, president of the Mechatronics Valley Hub. According to Mineo, the establishment of a highly specialized entity strengthens the growth path of the Hub and contributes to the creation of an ecosystem in which companies, research and training can interact more effectively. “This investment opens new qualified employment prospects, promotes the growth of young people’s skills and offers local companies a technological partner with whom to develop innovation and new production chains,” he adds. The goal, explains the president, is to make Termini Imerese a reference point in Southern Italy for mechatronics, industrial automation and advanced logistics, attracting investments capable of producing lasting development, stable employment and added value for the Sicilian economy.
The activities of the new headquarters
The mission of Seltin Group in Termini Imerese will develop through technical, maintenance, engineering and operational support activities. The headquarters will be used for interventions on operational vehicles, automotive systems and industrial plants, as well as for diagnostics, fault finding and integration of mechanical, electronic and software components. The laboratory will also handle the management of equipment, spare parts, materials and components and will host workstations dedicated to technical and engineering staff engaged in the development of industrial and automotive contracts. The project foresees the establishment of a qualified and modular work group, intended to grow progressively based on the projects activated and the opportunities that will emerge in the Sicilian territory.

Technicians, engineers and digital specialists
The professionals involved will include maintenance technicians, mechanics and metalworkers, carpentry and bodywork specialists, electrical, electronic and plant technicians. These figures will be joined by project managers, technical referents, logistics and operational administration staff, mechanical and electronic engineers, software and IT specialists. The project may also involve experts in digitization, data analysis and artificial intelligence, as well as personnel engaged in design, research and development activities. Seltin thus aims to build a structure capable of adapting to different industrial contracts and offering specialized skills to companies operating in Sicily.
The shortage of specialized technicians
The investment also arises from the need to respond to one of the main critical issues of the European industrial sector: the growing shortage of specialized technicians. The spread of automated plants has in fact led to an increase in demand for skills in mechanical and electromechanical maintenance, industrial automation and PLC system diagnostics.
