_“The main area of company’s activities – design and production of non-standard industrial furnaces and dryers.
Artūras Juškevičius, a graduate of Master degree Mechanical Engineering study programme, works as the company‘s production manager. He is responsible for design of new products, distribution of production assignments among the employees, development of new production processes and improvement of working environment.
Acquired knowledge of engineering design and analysis allows creating high quality products with higher added value. Artūras is able to perform experiments related to distribution of temperature and air flow, i.e., measure, process and analyse the data, and provide the obtained results in clear and easily understandable manner. Aiming to create more advanced products, he applies finite element method while performing computer-aided analysis of air flows. Artūras, who has knowledge of design and production technologies, is able to create a systematic environment, which improves both the working environment and product quality. He has knowledge of various disciplines and analytical skills and is able to generate ideas.”_ – UAB “TERMOSKALĖ”, Director, Saulius Gujis.
