After the celebration of the traditional meeting of suppliers of injectors, Interempresas-plastics universal wanted to know the opinion of the main Spanish suppliers about current issues of concern to the sector in our country.
Reducing the consumption of machines is one of the trends that we hear about more. It is a simple fashion or really Spanish plastics transformer calculated rigorously its production costs including energy consumption?
The cost of energy is one of the few variables on which can intervene the transformer of plastic. To be competitive, we need to work with machines of low power consumption (100% electric or hybrid). In addition, should take into account that the cost of energy will be multiplied by two in the next two years. Therefore it should be prepared for the future. Plastic transformer controls the costs of energy consumption of machines and is one of the optional request more clients in today's machines (a device to measure the consumption).
Talk about the future is difficult. But, does he not dare describe the panorama of the Spanish plastics industry by 2015?
I believe that by 2015 the industry the car will move to more competitive countries and is going to lose some of the industry in this country. On the contrary, will increase the packaging industry, but the trend is going to be down.
Their main arguments of sale in 2010 put in first-line matters relating to costs or to the injection technique?
The two elements are important and should be combined. We believe that the market marks a trend of machine 100% electric up to 400 tons and from this tonnage machines are hybrid, but combines the technique of injection with low energy consumption. It is an essential balance to survive.
