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.
Alberto Garrido, negri bossi.
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?
Without a doubt, the special economic situation we are experiencing and the sharp rise in competition from the countries around us and also in a very intense way of Asian countries, obliges all manufacturers - and the plastics industry is no exception - to study and take measures to improve its competitiveness. One of the primary objectives is the reduction of production costs. Energy, which represents a considerable percentage of these costs and whose value will continue to grow, we must devote special attention.
This need for savings in the energy bill is a concept that began to be evaluated some time ago in a small way but that in recent years has been growing interest in him in view of the increase that had been taking place. I am sure that this interest in the reduction of the energy cost will increase immediately and very important. How do you get that in our sector in the process of transformation? Through the use of new technologies and, in particular, electric drive machines or hybrid, providing optimal balance and versatility.
Talk about the future is difficult. But, does he not dare describe the panorama of the Spanish plastics industry by 2015?
The situation we are experiencing will not be extended indefinitely and within more or less short should start a revival, but hardly return to the growth of the happy years. The transformer to overcome the current crisis and who wants to have a future must change have renewed and cutting-edge production technology and automation to maximize their work processes. In addition, must offer products of high value added for its cutting edge applications, maintain that philosophy of constant, qualified staff and, what is very important in all sectors, to give a first class service to its customerscollaborating with them in the development of new products and applications.
Their main arguments of sale in 2010 put in first-line matters relating to costs or to the injection technique?
First level technology and the reduction of the costs of the teams are already a requirement of the industrial plastics, as they are also in any sector. Our will by 2010 is to continue improving and developing new equipment, taking the most costs, but taking into account that what ultimately matters is to provide a tool, still appreciating investment, offering the best cost of production and excellent quality of the manufactured article. Not to mention something which for us is already a doctrine: give our customers the best and most flexible support they may require.
