discounts tend
to disappear”

The news in the means on the Spanish economy are very negative. However, it seems that there is a slight recovery of the industry of the plastics, thinks that this is sure enough like this?
Think that 2009 was a very difficult year. It seemed that in 2010 something began to move and there was a light mejoría. In 2011 the industry of the plastics followed improving, especially in the three first quarters of the year, but, from September there was a remarkable descent that is lasting until today. I have been able to check that in Germany has produced the same situation.
It thinks that the transformers of Spanish plastics are orienting his strategies to the internationalisation?
The Spanish market seems that it is very saturated. This, together with the descent of the consumption because of the crisis, does that a lot of small and medium enterprises have disappeared. It seems that the multinationals are bearing better the crisis, thanks to his internationalisation, and there is not another solution that look to other markets to be able to survive.
they are selling Now machines of a greater value that before or machines more instrumented?
The politics of sales has changed because of the crisis. The providers of components manufacture on request to consequence of the reduction of stocks, and this does that they prolong the terms of delivery. The manufacturers of machinery have adapted to the new situation. It treats to produce less but to sell with the correct margin and this does that the big discounts tend to disappear.
