Interview with Josep Solans, Manager of workshops Corbins

Our company as many others began his activity as a small workshop of repair of agricultural machinery. Due to this proximity to the farmer saw the need of machining field, search for simple and practical solutions to daily problems of mechanization in the different tasks. Of course the area of influence in those years was virtually regional, with the passage of time the range of influence was enlarged both in extent and variety of models and products. The current market is constantly evolving in a dramatic way in part due to the incorporation of new technologies that allow for a potential client from his home to have access to an incredible amount of information. To realize the answer to your question I would say that our market has evolved and is evolving into an increasingly professional and technical agriculture.

A very extensive range of products with which we can supply customers the necessary machinery for completely machining exploitation. Since the compressors and accessories tires for pruning and harvesting, passing through the bars of application of herbicides you interlineas in fruit plantations, to the alienadoras of pruning remains, as well as the hydraulic elevators for loading pallets and palots with their corresponding accessories, as well as equipment for crop protection. All this backed by a team of service technicians after-sales and spare parts.

The current buyer is not the kind of person that hits the market to see that it is, but that to the contrary when it comes to buying a new machine is very clear what is what you want, what type of technological levelwhich finishes and accurate benefits, therefore, the level of demand from the buyer has risen enormously. This benefits to companies trying to do his job properly and harms that don't care about stay up to date or do things well.

Maximum quality and the most advanced technology in the manufacture of our products, and the care of a whole range of professionals to innovate in new equipment that will facilitate and improve the conditions and quality of the final work. We have the backing of our own service maintenance and support, as well as a large store of spare parts to give a quick solution to problems both in manufacturing machines and products from other manufacturers.

Mainly to countries of the EU as a France or Portugal, as well as third countries such as Switzerland, Tunisia or Morocco.

Expansion into new markets abroad, the expansion of our facilities, the introduction of the certificate of quality ISO and continue with the spirit given by our founder of constant self-improvement.

Being forced to constantly innovate to always provide customer solutions of first-line. The possibility of finding partnerships or alliances between companies to enter emerging markets. Let us remember the old saying 'unity is strength'.

It is clear that there has been a significant sales of machinery, but within the current crisis decrease, our sector is one of which has been slow to notice the crisis. In other sectors there had been a totally disproportionate and unjustified increase in sales, while that in our had not taken place, given that our customer is more conservative and Calculator because it is used to depend on inclement weather and market.

To provide more aid and greater agility in dealing with the same for the acquisition of machinery and investment, both farmers and manufacturers of agricultural machinery, in order to revive the economy. Spain has always been a great and good producer of agricultural products although, in recent years it seems that all this has been forgotten and that agriculture and their relatives are the poor brothers of the country's economy.
