Maketron – Alessandro Piccardo – electronic design, embedded firmware and IoT

Technology. Passion. Innovation.

A design studio for technological innovation from Electronics to Mobile Apps.. through Firmware and Industrial Automation

Every project is different — and often requires different skills. Maketron was built to answer that need: a single point of contact for the client, with a network of specialists that activates based on what the project actually requires. Electronics, firmware, software, mobile apps, mechanical design — all under one roof, without the complexity of managing multiple suppliers. The goal is always the same: turning an idea into a product that works.

Alessandro Piccardo, Electronic Engineering graduate from Politecnico di Torino, founded Maketron driven by a genuine passion for technology and for understanding how things work. Maketron doesn't stop at a single domain: we tailor every project to your specific needs.
