About me
Hello, I'm Hélder Almeida da Silva, a mechanical engineer by training, with over two decades of experience in industrial automation and robotics. I started my career in 1998 with technical and sales responsibilities in industrial pneumatics, I worked as a process engineer in an automotive company between 2001 and 2004, when I co-founded Fluidotronica, which started as a small team of three people and has now grown into a robust operation with 50 employees.
My work has always combined technical expertise with commercial and international development, programming robots of different brands and implementing quality and financial management systems. Recognising the need for a broader skill set, I completed a postgraduate degree in Business Management, which has enabled me to drive growth, manage customer relationships and effectively lead a range of operational strategies.
I'm passionate about driving innovation in automation and would love to connect with others in the industry who are committed to pushing the boundaries of technology
