Interview with Rafael Ortega, Raorsa
Many returned from the K with the idea that was a good show. It breathed some optimism in the sector, filled aisles, many contacts and even sales, do you think that the sector in Spain will recover soon? Do you think that the problem of financing is one of the main right now or the problem lies elsewhere?
Certainly the K fair is always a very important reference point for any transformer. More in the last edition, where the Spanish inyectadores took the contest to close purchases which most likely many of them had not done without the opportunity to obtain special discounts that are offered in this type of event, as the uncertainty that currently exists in our market does not allow the transformer decisions such as yesteryear. This therefore allowed an increase in sales and a possible vision of recovery in our market.
The current perception tends to a recovery in our sector, which we hope is in this way and not return to the figures of recent times.
Of course, funding is a major problem but it is not the main cause of the decline in sales in recent years, there are many others that have coincidentally led us to this situation.
Do you think that there are some industrial segment that will be the to lead the improvement of the sector of injection in Spain?
It is really difficult to predict which sector will definitely boost the market in Spain. Normal and most desired would be that all sectors put their grain of sand to achieve such improvement.
If easy pieces no longer is it can compete with cheaper countries, what it should do the Spanish inyectador? Further automation of processes? More integration of functions?
The only way to compete with cheaper countries is investing in technologically advanced machinery and, of course, in the automation of the processes of manufacturing to get growing with faster cycles and, if possible, with greater quality of finishes at the lowest cost. Obviously any r & d investment will always be welcome and positive. In this way can unseat any foreign competitor. It is very important that the transformer can be seen this real possibility.
