HISTORY
When Mipro was established in 1980 under the name Mikkelin Prosessinohjaus Ky (Mikkeli process control), the company specialised in process industry and water supply automation. The unique insight of the early 90s utilizing industrial safety logics in railway systems expanded the company’s business in a decisive way. Since then, Mipro has been a pioneer of railway systems in Finland. Water supply has remained the company’s second main business, and we are currently one of the leading suppliers of water and energy management systems in Finland.

In our operations, we secure people, the surrounding nature, property, information, and reputation from harm and accidents, ensuring the continuity and uninterrupted operation of our activities.
Our safety management consists of producing safety in specific areas and ensuring overall safety. We identify functional safety, information security, electrical safety, occupational safety, and track safety as the most essential safety areas for us.

We continuously identify and assess risks and hazards related to operations, products, and deliveries. We offer our customers safe products and services.

The development of information security—planning, implementation, monitoring, and measurement—is continuous and verifiable at Mipro. We protect ourselves from threats through risk assessment, ensuring that implemented protection mechanisms are appropriate and meet the requirements set by business, customers, and legislation throughout their lifecycle. These measures ensure the security of data, information systems, devices, networks, and premises in everyday situations and under special conditions, preventing unauthorized use and unintentional or intentional destruction of data throughout their lifecycle.
