KERSL Automation (formerly Korsika Energy Research and Services Ltd) is an Industrial-Skills Continuing Education Training provider in Accra, Ghana.
It is also one of the best Automation and Mechatronics Systems designers in the country.
One of our primary focus areas is the design and manufacture of machines for small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) in agribusiness.
We have recently completed a UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) project for two farming communities. Under this project, KERSL Automation designed and built mango fruit washers, mango juice extractors, pasteurizers, fruit dehydrators and ginger juice extractors.
Under a different project, we are also building coffee hulling machines, roasting machines and milling machines for some coffee farmers.
Our vision of using home-grown technology to add value to agricultural raw materials, provide training in automation to industry and train the youth in marketable skills, is in line with the government’s strategic goal of “Ghana Beyond Aid.”
KERSL Automation is fully-Ghanaian-owned.
Besides designing machines for SMEs in agribusiness, our other focus area as automation and mechatronics training providers stems from the fact that these disciplines form the underpinnings for today’s manufacturing industries. Therefore, KERSL Automation is committed to providing the right interface between industry and academia to develop industry-ready technical school graduates in these disciplines.
Mission
The mission of KERSL Automation is to contribute to Ghana’s industrialization process by providing workplace and continuing education training in manufacturing skills, industrial automation, and to design small scale cottage manufacturing plants to bring added-value to raw materials, thereby improving the standard of living of rural communities.
Vision
KERSL Automation’s vision is to be the leading catalyst in moving Ghana into a globally recognized industrialized country.
