MantaMESH receives award at World Economic Forum

Thuringia leads in the use of Industry 4.0 technologies: MantaMESH, a company from western Thuringia, was honored as a global lighthouse during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and accepted into the Global Lighthouse Network.

This network of 132 member companies brings together exceptional innovators in state-of-the-art internet-based industrial production. The technologies can range from artificial intelligence and robotics to cloud computing and Big Data.

MantaMESH specializes in logistics shelving systems and develops forward-looking storage solutions. The Thuringian operation is part of the Australian MantaMESH Group. In his acceptance speech after receiving the membership certificate, Stephen Eddowes, owner and CEO of MantaMESH, outlined the key success factors of the innovative plant in Thuringia. They include a rigorous focus on continuously improving the company’s processes, a highly motivated local workforce, and support from local and regional partners – including LEG Thüringen, who has provided the company with a full range of services since it set up business here over ten years ago.
