In his article "Things to know before investing in IG manufacturing equipment", Uwe Risle of Glaston takes us through the thought process and points out key issues to take into consideration before you even think about making the investment: What is the market segment that you occupy? How large does your production line need to be for the volume you want to achieve? What technologies will you require to serve your business segment? Who is the right partner to provide what you need?
In his suggestions, Mr Risle provides helpful, and sometimes unexpected, advice for any future investments (see the link above). If, for instance, you are considering an increase to your production volume, but the current economic climate may seem less than ideal for a major investment, rest assured that there are other ways.
