Automate Canada is happy to recognize Mirka as our February member spotlight. Mirka is a new Automate Canada member, who started out in 1942, and has decades of experience as a world leader in surface finishing technology. Their automation solution is used in many different sanding applications.
|
Dedicated to innovative research and development, Mirka has also launched new microfinishing products for optimised engineered surface finishing processes, as well as a full range of polishing compounds.
|
I had the pleasure of meeting with Keren Binmahar and George Varagic of Mirka to discuss their company, goals and membership. One thing that stood out right away was their enthusiasm for their company and products and their interest in being involved as Automate Canada members.
