Interview with Tiago Guimarães Coelho, Manager of AGI Spain
The recent study conducted by universal plastics / Interempresas and peripherals for plastics providers mark a decrease in sales from 2012 to 2011. What is your feeling? What do you think will occur over the next year?
There is clearly a reduction of investment in general. Peripherals tend often to not be valued, since alone they are not direct elements of production, so they are the first to be discarded in recessive economic climates as those who live in today. Fortunately, there are those who do not see it this way and take advantage of times of lower expansion to optimize your processes and make them more productive. Unfortunately for our industry, these cases are many children who would expect, although if we compare with the injectors sales analysis, the evolution of the peripheral was not so negative. For AGI Eespaña, this can be an indicator that the mentality is changing to best, transmitting us some optimism for the future.
By his experience in the sale of peripheral equipment, what is what most demand now a transformer when you want to buy a team? It has thus always been or notice changes in the demands of the buyer?
Fortunately we are observing some changes, it clearly shows increased interest in environmental issues and energy efficiency that were previously not considered, which today are making a difference when it comes to investments. Another trend that we noticed clearly is the search for the best use and rationalisation in the consumption of raw material, either doing some kind of compounding in the plant itself, using cheaper materials, or for better management of the recovered material, integrating it effectively into the production process. Therefore the requirements of buyers go in this sense, quality products that ensure them their demands in these aspects.
