Mirka Teams up With ABB To Boost Automation Accessibility
September 9, 2025
Mirka is strengthening its position in the automation sector by joining ABB’s trusted network of automation partners, the ABB Robotics Ecosystem. This new collaboration expands access to automated surface finishing solutions, making them more accessible to both end customers and system integrators.
Mirka’s robotic sanding and polishing tools have been a familiar sight in factories across Europe for several years. However, many industries still rely on manual tasks that are costly, strenuous, and sometimes hazardous, often due to the lack of resources or knowledge to identify and implement suitable automation solutions.
That's why Mirka, ABB, and other members of the ABB Robotics Ecosystem, are working together to help companies unlock their full potential through automation. For Mirka, this partnership is an opportunity to leverage the company's vast expertise and innovative solutions for robotic sanding and polishing.
‘There is enormous potential for companies in various industries to streamline their surface finishing processes through automation. We know this because we have already seen the results in factories all over the world,’ says Stefan Sjöberg, CEO of Mirka.
About ABB Robotics Ecosystem
Launched in 2023, the ABB Robotics Ecosystem creates plug-and-play solutions by collaborating with third parties to develop new robotic solutions, software and accessories. Its mission is to simplify automation and help small and medium-sized enterprises optimise their production processes.
In practice, ecosystem members collaborate with ABB to develop robotic tools and solutions that seamlessly integrate with ABB’s comprehensive automation portfolio – including industrial robots, collaborative robots (cobots), advanced software such as RobotStudio™ and the OmniCore™ control platform. These solutions are tailored to meet specific end-user needs, enabling greater flexibility, performance, and ease of deployment across a wide range of applications.
Evald Lassus, business sector manager at Mirka, commented:
‘Mirka has been developing surface finishing solutions for over eighty years, and ABB – and its predecessor ASEA Brown Boveri – has been a pioneer in automation since the 1970s. Together, we bring a wealth of experience. This new collaboration expands our ability to develop and deliver leading solutions in automated surface finishing to both existing and future customers.’
