Planning for the future GEA sees more innovation in store for the future . “ We are working on continuously developing our machines and our technologies ,” said Sascha Poteralla , noting that the company is working with select customers to test new development prototypes before they go to market .
“ In addition to that , we are capturing the demand of the market and of our core key customers ,” said Poteralla . “ We are keen to understand what their plans are in regards to new products they want to launch . The further we understand that , the better we can make sure we have the technology available in our portfolio to meet their demands .”
The company is also looking to continue improving its processes , pushing its Lean principles even further to provide its consumers with additional benefits . “ We are constantly looking to optimize and reduce the total cost of ownership of our machines ,” said Enrique Rivera . “ That means we expect to have longer maintenance cycles , and we are working on studies to let our machines operate longer between a servicing stop . We are looking to constantly optimize on low cost solutions with high quality standards . On one side we are trying to add features , and on the other side want to make sure we are capable of supplying a solution quickly to the market , specifically when it comes to serve customers demand and maintaining their seasonal business .”
