HAND IN HAND WITH SCIENCE

HAND IN HANDWITH SCIENCE

‘Who does not move forward is going backward. These words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe come to mind when we think about developing ourselves, training or otherwise working on ourselves. Why does ambition make a person who is gifted with it always be one step ahead of others? The answer to this question is advantage, in our case, technological advantage.

Technological advantage is an irreplaceable tool for building competitive advantage. It guarantees competitiveness without compromising quality or the need to move production to countries with lower labor costs. Usage of the latest technological achievements allows to produce faster, more economically, meeting or even exceeding increasingly stringent environmental standards.

What are these technological advances and where do they come from? Technological breakthroughs are the results of painstaking research and hundreds of hours of testing, carried out under the supervision of the best scientists in laboratories all over the world. Science and knowledge are the engine of progress, therefore, as Benjamin Franklin noted, there is no better investment.

We have the pleasure to discuss the development of manufacturing technology for marine products at MAEM with the leaders of marine education

in Poland and the world's leading authority, Gdynia Maritime University. Thanks to the interest in cooperation on both sides, an official cooperation agreement was signed in March 2021.

The agreement marks a new stage in the life of MAEM. It gives us the opportunity to benefit from the university's vast knowledge and well-equipped laboratories. We will work under the guidance

of the best specialists on manufacturing and durability of products that are used every day in hundreds of pieces of equipment on board MAEM's vessels. For us, the cooperation with the University of Gdansk is an opportunity to use the latest scientific knowledge in practice, while for the MAEM University it is a place where ideas and studies will leave the university walls and be implemented into mass production.

For UMG students, the cooperation with MAEM provides opportunities to undergo practical training in the laboratories of a modern production plant and to learn the secrets of manufacturing and reverse engineering, all from the experienced engineers of our company. What will the cooperation with UMG bring to MAEM customers? You will see soon.
