E.E: At what stage is the market where you are currently active?
DENVER: The stone working machinery market is rapidly adopting 5 axes CNC machines benefiting of the impressive scope of applications offered by advanced software and hi-tech electronics. Versatility, ease of use and quality control are the guidelines. Customers’ expectations are growing and manufacturers are challenged to deliver excellent pre and post sales customer service.
The glass market heads towards a concentration trend due to the capital intensive nature of the business. Superior dimensional and finish quality, seamless repeatability, process integration are the drivers and glass working companies are investing heavily to keep their edge in a competitive global market.
Safety standards and growing end user expectations call for an ever increasing content of technology. Machines manufacturers striving for excellence invest huge capital in innovation.
E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?
