Enduride: Specialist in custom industrial rollers

Founded in 2005, Enduride specializes in the custom design of rollers for conveying minerals and bulk materials. The company serves key sectors such as natural resources and operates in markets across the Americas, Africa, Scandinavia, Oceania, and Europe. Recognized for its reliability and expertise, it is now a global player in its field.

Low engagement and weak performance

In 2020, Enduride was the least profitable business unit in the M7 Group. A blame culture and low engagement were holding back any continuous improvement efforts. To turn the situation around, the plant was selected as a pilot site to implement the Toyota culture and deploy the digital Andon system.
