1984

Establishment of the company MIRAKON by Pedro Ferreirinha and Dr. V. Hubka. 

A goal of the company was the support for designing technical systems.
Therefore the name MIRAKON is derived from: Means for Efficient Construction (Mittel für Rationelle Konstruktion).

Our first product, the HKB (manufacturing costs computation) (Hrstellkosten-Berechnung), made possible to the technical designers,due to a technical machine system description, to generate the manufacturing process and to compute times and costs.

Our first customer: Maag-Zahnräder
