Company Performance Metrics
Bram de Koning: Founder
The machining industry in Western Europe is highly developed; the branch is rich in knowledge and skill. They manufacture the very best products which comply with the highest demands in quality. But however innovative your machine park is and how good the products you make, the mode of production in the branch still shows strong traditional traits
resulting in the spindles in your machine park only turning at 25%, particularly for the limited series. In addition investment is high and prices under pressure, partly due to the influence of upcoming economies such as China and other low-wage countries In the meantime these countries also invest lots in high-quality production modes and technologies but, in contrast to the European market, they have sufficient personnel available at a low hourly wage twenty-four hours a day.
