The greatness of the small

Small, there are often great deeds. In recondite places, anonymous in the macro but known in the micro, are often small businesses which surprise us by his vision of the industry, the clarity of the paths that must be your business and the conviction that awaits a positive future. Often, particularly for the ability of marketing from big business, their overwhelming presence, its continuous transmission of messages, we tend to confuse their message with the real. But the truth is not necessarily universal truth. A season of lean in the plastics sector is for some of that same, but for others it is simply a season of less fat cows. Spanish industrial fabric is composed of many small-sized enterprises and it is true that in many cases short-term vision and the commitment by a hidden quick money the forest which is located behind. But not least is true that for many other things are not so. Step by step, with clear and reasonable growth based on technology, commitment to the customer and the rudimentary but effective management, also, why not, with a certain amount of risk calculated on investmentsmany companies remain year after year, without making noise, in niche markets that have been able to locate and dominate.

In this case we have focused on those who are engaged in the construction of moulds, but are often dedicated to the transformation of plastics. Don't miss the story on page 66.
