#MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY SECTOR
What challenges lie ahead for DESMASA in the
next two years?
Consolidating the new line of robotic 3D cutting cells
and becoming a global leader; extending the facilities
and available resources in order to increase activity
and reaching €20M; and embracing the philosophy
around industry 4.0.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate your
company in terms of digitalisation or digital transformation?
Why?
Seven. We have been implementing tools that optimise
business management for some time, some of
which are set in virtual environments. However, digital
technology changes at a rapid pace and that leaves
significant room for improvement.
Does DESMASA carry out any type of control and
approval over suppliers?
The products we receive from our suppliers undergo
quality controls and we are very aware of aspects
such as incident management or the predisposition
to collaborate in the development of new products.
The specificity and level of technicality of our equipment
forces us to do so.
In which countries is DESMASA present? What has
been the key to its internationalisation?
DESMASA, via its main client, has installed its intensifiers
in more than 30 countries. However strictly
speaking, if we only consider our own resources, we
operate in the US and Mexico, but we are working
to expand the list. Our internationalisation is closely
linked to the development of the new line of robotic
cells and, more specifically, to the commercial tasks
and the intrapreneurial attitude of the department
managing them. Their dedication shows us a very
promising medium-term future.
Is DESMASA committed to innovation? How?
Of course, R&D&I is one of the aspects that makes us
competitive and has allowed us to position ourselves
among the leaders within the international market of
intensifiers and, in turn, access the market of cells.
Internal projects, both individual and in collaboration;
a constant technology watch, and the cooperation
with clients, suppliers and R&D&I organisations are
key in DESMASA.
