"Big companies are on the brink of the abyss and may in the medium term its response and service not be nor the minimally required", Agustín Durán (Centrotécnica)

In general, in Spain, there is an epidemic of conformism and acceptance of a State victim of the circumstances. It is assuming with resignation the economic debacle, the fall of the markets and the demand and "putting beards to soak" without taking courageous initiatives, or developing new products, objectives or researching in a restructuring of the sector to other markets. Without a doubt, the investment in modern equipment, with current technology; able to increase the quality/productivity, decreasing consumption; with the disappearance of the great Park of outdated machinery that abounds in Spain is essential for access to this type of production (médico-farmacéutico, packaging and disposable alimentación-envases).
Currently, the manufacture of machinery for injection in 'old Europe', is being ported to standards already in Japan and United States are a success in recent years, with the use of fully electric machines; of which, Japanese manufacturers are the undisputed Kings for a simple concept of experience and expertise. Europe, in this sense, is to the tail; get 10 years late to research in this field, and while the advantage of proximity and sale prices allow the European manufacturer to sell hydraulic technology, considered by the Japanese as obsolete; most of the brands makes its first steps by launching fully-electric injectors, more punishable than glory in many cases; or buying technology to Japan to offer a 'remake' European, more or less commercial version; "to allow the brand maintained its status".
