Interview with Bernd Roegele, of Helmut Roegele
Many returned from the K with the idea that was a good show. It breathed some optimism in the sector, filled aisles, many contacts and even sales, do you think that the sector in Spain will recover soon? Do you think that the problem of financing is one of the main right now or the problem lies elsewhere?
Effectively. The K 2010 has been a surprisingly good taking into account fair times at Spain. Surely the empathetic factor, the general euphoria and some special K 2010 action have helped that some sales might materialize. It predicted a recovery in our sector, which however not be seen at all. However, I am convinced that the sector will recover, obviously not at the levels of the years of boom. Soon? It will depend on the strength of contagion of the recovery of other European countries.
The lack of funding is certainly a major problem, but perhaps not the principal. There are others such as confidence in the markets and the dependence of the actions of the Government, which will not solve our problems.
Do you think that there are some industrial segment that will be the to lead the improvement of the sector of injection in Spain?
It is difficult to predict. The car has lived through a very low moment, but it shows some recovery. The packaging and the medical sector are taking lot of strength.
If easy pieces no longer is it can compete with cheaper countries, what it should do the Spanish inyectador? Further automation of processes? More integration of functions?
Since some years ago "applaud" with a cast and he is not competitive. Processes with automation and new technologies are the future, as well as the renovation and replacement of the Park of obsolete machinery by technically advanced products, providing quality and energy savings.
