Dr. Bjol R. Frenkenberger: "Dornbirn GFC to conntect with the industry" MIR's mission is to develop an integrated system for the entire #textile supply chain that allows the supply chain to be better managed to minimize #waste and losses, because there is overproduction in the industry, many companies are interested in minimizing the problem. MIR helps companies to create a better pre-cast and the companies save a lot of resources.
