#DIGITAL ECONOMY SECTOR
interdepartmental and intradepartmental activities to
promote competences such as teamwork, communication,
creativity and flexibility.
With regard to favouring intrapreneurship, new vertical
markets, always focused on diversification and
creativity, are constantly being opened. This generates
new business ideas.
What challenges lie ahead for MARINE INSTRU-
MENTS in the next two years?
Marine Instruments has been growing 25% on average
year after year throughout the last 5 years. Our
greatest challenge is still being able to maintain those
growth vectors while we consolidate and systematise
the main processes of the company, that is, how we
generate new ideas and products while we continue
seeking operational excellence and opening new
markets and vertical sectors.
In which countries is MARINE INSTRUMENTS present?
What has been the key to its internationalisation?
Marine Instruments currently operates in 30 countries.
The keys to its internationalization have been its high
ability to adapt to each of the countries and their way of
working, apart from finding the most appropriate distributor
in each of these countries.
Is MARINE INSTRUMENTS committed to innovation?
How?
Marine Instruments is strongly committed to innovation.
Of the 120 employees that make up Marine Instruments,
45 are R&D engineers. Innovation is something innate
in the company and the basis for any future growth. It is
part of the company's strategy.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate your
company in terms of digitalisation or digital transformation?
Why?
Marine Instruments has gained its customers' loyalty
by offering products and services that are based on
the Internet of things. This strategy places the needs
and experiences of the client on the focus of our developments.
That is why we offer an integral service
that would have been difficult to imagine without the
current digital transformation.
Does MARINE INSTRUMENTS carry out any type of
control and approval over suppliers?
The supplier is essential to guarantee the quality
and the flexibility that Marine Instruments offers to its
clients. Based on a risk analysis policy, the company
selects the provider that better fits its needs, while
considering different quality, environment or infrastructure
aspects.
