Making dreams come true
50 years of Mifa
Making dreams come true – the power of precision
Over 50 years ago, we laid the foundation for the power of precision – the strength of precision extrusion to turn dreams into reality. We are at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. Technologies that enable us to detect diseases earlier, deliver faster internet, and make travel more environmentally friendly.
By continuing to dream and innovate together, we move forward. That is what Mifa stands for! It is the power of precision, the strength of our colleagues at Mifa, and the value of collaboration with our partners and customers. We are proud of that!
Pushing boundaries
Mifa has evolved into a leading partner in precision. This precision is the key to achieving the impossible, both for our employees and the solutions we provide to our customers.
Although we may sometimes deliver a small component, this part is essential to the success of a greater whole, a larger dream. Our accuracy unlocks doors to limitless possibilities.
We take you on a journey through Mifa’s past, present, and future
This journey tells the story of Mifa’s founding by Jan Aalberts, the evolution of our technologies, and the vision for the future. It shows how ideas start as dreams and become reality through boldness, innovation and determination.
