Interview with Adolfo Ibáñez, Italprensas Sandretto
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?
We believe that a recovery in the sector in the short term, is difficult because the damage to the industry is very deep, but the truth is that the transformers have assumed that the current situation is going to be long and must live with it.
So, begin to consider new investments while the situation is not going to be better in the near future, but what is clear is that they cannot stay as they are, because that would mean the loss of competitiveness for your company.
Somehow, we could say that we must get used to working on this as unfavourable environment.
The lack of funding is without doubt one of the most serious problems for the development of the sector. Many projects are dying in the offices of the banks for lack of capital to perform them, despite being well supported approaches.
Without a doubt, the absence of funding is one of the main reasons why cannot develop the sector, since there if there is no credit can not be investment in technology.
Do you think that there are some industrial segment that will be the to lead the improvement of the sector of injection in Spain?
As always, we think that small and medium-sized enterprises able to which can lead to the recovery of the sector, especially those who have the capacity to export.
It seems that the most dynamic sectors are those dedicated to food and pharmacy, but the car has also been signs of recovery, especially by the demand from outside of the Spanish State.
In general, it is clear that those sectors that are able to export beyond our borders are the only ones able to grow in the short term.
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?
It is not true that the inyectador can not compete with easy pieces. We are confident that our manufacturing processes are more efficient that those of many of the emerging countries, but this should improve control over spending in this type of product: process improvement through automation and reduction of power consumption through improvements in technology are the only variables that can make our costs lower with respect to this offer, and with the advantage of proximity and greater flexibility and speed, we should be able to be more attractive for our customers, as well as the quality assurance.
