In March of 2011, Mitsubishi Electric Europe acquired 14,9% of the shareholding in Adroit Technologies. Since this acquisition it has successfully been promoting the Mitsubishi Adroit Process Suite (MAPS), as well as Adroit’s world-class Scada, Alarm Management and Scada Intelligence software, throughout Europe. In the 1990s Mitsubishi held a leading position in southern Africa and it is part of the EMEA strategy to have a direct automation presence in the region once again. It believes through its share in Adroit Technologies, with its leading position and knowledge of the sub-Saharan African market, it will once again be in a strong position to offer the level of service that customers expect from a global leader in the automation market. The joint goal is to become the leading platform that powers industry in southern Africa.
Various key personnel, who have many years of experience with the Mitsubishi products, have joined Adroit Technologies to offer a full range of services including:
* Pre-sale and post-sales assistance.
* Product training.
* Standard and customised service level maintenance agreements.
* Turn-key custom solutions.
