Agipro Ltd.

The manufacturing industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation driven by several megatrends: increasing consumer power, digitalization, an aging population, and global warming. These trends are introducing new demands that go far beyond business as usual. On one hand, the industry is grappling with a productivity problem, despite significant investments in IT and automation. Productivity growth has declined markedly since 2005. Meanwhile, demographic trends suggest a shrinking labor pool for manufacturing companies in the future. If unaddressed, these challenges may hamper overall economic growth and welfare (GDP). On the other hand, even the current, subpar productivity growth is environmentally unsustainable. We must find new ways to better utilize capacity, raw materials, and energy—without compromising the environment for future generations. A third challenge stems from the rise of e-commerce, which is driving demand for instant deliveries and personalized products. To stay competitive and profitable, manufacturers must embed this need for unlimited flexibility into their operations. Agipro Ltd. was founded with the commitment and vision to tackle these three critical challenges in unison. Our Mission is To develop people, solutions, and companies capable of addressing the global productivity challenge in a sustainable manner. Agipro Ltd. provides consultancy and advisory services to growth-oriented companies aiming to make a transformational impact in their market segments. Joni Rautavuori is the founder of Agipro.
