About the project
Workshop conditions can be quite rough in developing countries in e.g. sub-Saharan Africa. Mirka produces ergonomic and dust-free products that could alleviate the situation significantly; however, entering new markets can be laborious. With the help of digital training in surface finishing equipment usage, Mirka can introduce a completely new level of safe and high quality tools in selected African countries, while improving the productivity of customers and the quality of life for local people.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to embed digitalisation to all levels of Mirka’s operations, enabling significantly improved productivity and two-way communication between manufacturer and end-users. The project paves the way for safer, productive and sustainable business for Mirka and its partners and customers, with focus on new potential in the developing markets.
