Define Miba AG as an organization. What makes the company unique from the other competitors in the market?
Miba AG started almost 95 years back in a small village in Austria, and now we have almost 32 plants all over the world. A privately-owned company, Miba AG is now run by third-generation entrepreneurs. We have almost five major verticals and Miba Drivetec India (MDI) comes under the friction group. We are mostly into component manufacturing and produce friction technologies and have recently ventured into automation and e-mobility. As a privately-owned company, whatever profit we get, we put most of it into R&D to develop new products and explore new opportunities. We are always eager to adopt advanced technologies as well as manufacturing machines, which makes our product come out of the finest quality.

We always work as a team, not because we work together but because we trust, respect, and care for each other. Each one of us in the organization adheres to three principles;standing accountable, imagining better, and being respectful. This bestows us with a unique identity, not only amongst our competitors but also inclusively in the corporate sector. Having worked in many industries and across numerous fields I can certainly abide by the fact that this culture is hardly seen across the operations of many conglomerates.
