Transformation as an opportunity

Industrial companies in all sectors now have an opportunity to reposition themselves on the market with new technologies, products and solutions and secure crucial competitive advantages.

This means consistently investing in digitalisation, exploiting potential for automation, and realigning business models in order to defy the economic downturn in major markets and withstand international trade conflicts and rapid sector and market changes.
