O exemplo dos moldes

Interessante, dado o presente sucesso da indústria de moldes:

"Like most European manufacturers, Portuguese mould makers are unable to compete on price alone. Those who take advantage of the latest technology, such as a combination of EDM technology and high-speed machining, will have an edge up on the competition.
.
Even the casual visitor to some of Portugal's mould making shops walks away impressed by the heavy investment in advanced machine tools. Mould makers have been systematically upgrading their equipment with several objectives in mind: speeding up production, maximising flexibility, automating processes for unmanned operations and maintaining high-quality standards in order to remain competitive.
...
With €115m of investment in R&D over the last five years, Portuguese mould makers have nearly doubled their export and production rate, with around 90% of their products going into markets such as Spain, Germany, France, Poland, the US and Mexico."

BTW, ontem mandei este texto, para uma empresa portuguesa que exporta as suas máquinas para todo o mundo, com o desafio. Quando começam a fazer este tipo de marketing?

Recordar "É preciso marketing"
