Schmoll Keeping an Eye on the Future--and on LDI
March 16, 2015 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
Of course, you get closer to the market, but then you also need all engineering talents in the market. And finally, we see that the market is going into more segments: bigger machines, smaller machines, this and that. This needs quite a bit of development. To pass over this development into China is another step that is too difficult for us. For the time being, we feel that you can go into this market if you have a standardized product that you will be running for some time, and the trend right now is a little bit against that.
When we discussed the subject five years ago, we thought the supplier market was not ready for us. When we discuss it today, the supplier market is much more ready for it, but we see other obstacles. This means that is has to be reviewed every year, once again.
Matties: How many people do you have in your company now?
Kunz: We have 400, all together. 200 people in Germany, and another 200 in Asia. So far we had profitable years, we never lost money, but we know which dedication is needed for such sustainable situation.
Matties: Anything else you'd like to add?
Kunz: Only that we try to be a company that wants to be a long-term reliable partner, trustworthy, and this is how we have always been. Of course, no company can promise to be in the market forever, but I think we have quite a good chance to also be a reliable partner in some years from now, and maybe for some decades.
Matties: Thomas, thank you so much for spending time today.
