Posted 2025-12-02

With a passion for problem-solving and a deep commitment to continuous improvement, Mirko Belkin plays a key role in developing production processes at Emballator Metalpak Oy in Finland. As a Development Engineer, Mirko’s days are filled with everything from machine maintenance to innovative upgrades that make life easier for his colleagues.

“The best part of my job is improving things to make production more stable and efficient, and making work easier for the workers whenever possible.”

Mirko’s journey began in Germany, continued through Sweden, and eventually led him to Finland, where he has built a life with his family in the countryside of Sibbo. With decades of experience in the can industry, he brings both technical expertise and a collaborative spirit to the team.

One of his proudest achievements? Transforming an old manual cutting table into an automated system using parts from a print shop—freeing up operators and boosting efficiency.

Outside of work, Mirko enjoys archery, tinkering in his garage, and dreams of restoring a 1969 Mustang. His colleagues know him as the go-to person for fixing just about anything—except maybe his Finnish, which he jokes still needs a bit of polishing.

At Emballator, Mirko values the freedom to make decisions and the strong support from colleagues across borders. With a new factory on the horizon, he sees a bright future ahead.
