Macnil GT Alarm Information

Macnil story starts from the union between an electronic engineer specialized in telecommunications (MAC, Mariarita Costanza) and a computer expert (NIL, Nicola Lavenuta), determined to use their expertise and know-how to create a technological hub in Southern Italy. This was possible also thanks to the partnership with some local companies, all specialized in their own field, which provide highly qualified products and services both on national and international market.

They started by developing global technologies in the field of messaging (SMS) and Automotive (Satellite Tracking and Fleet Management), signing important partnership with Telecom Italia, Poste Italiane and “The Politecnico di Bari”, of University in Bari.
