Building Towards International Markets

In 2008 the company was already growing internationally thanks to the first large cabin simulator being delivered to Kalmar for training purposes in Brazil. At the time, all assembly work was performed in-house.

Real-time Hydraulics Simulation

Simulators for mining machinery are an important part of Mevea’s business. In 2012 Mevea delivered simulators of concrete praying and scaling machines to Normet. These simulators included real-time hydraulic simulation and configurable control system integration which are some of the unique capabilities of Mevea simulators.
