OMD among the sponsors of the 10th international congress of the spring industry
The 10th international congress of the spring industry is approaching. Organized by ESF (European Spring Federation) in collaboration with VDFI, the German association of spring manufacturers, the conference is slated for September 27 at the Hyperion Hotel in Hamburg, Germany.
OMD firmly believes in the value of the initiative, and is excited to give its contribution to the growth of the event, especially considering the in-depth speeches that will be delivered. The Congress is a big opportunity to meet other companies within the industry coming from all over the world and discuss the hottest topics, such as the current economic conditions, innovative technologies and applications for spring steels, industry 4.0 and much more.
Particularly interesting to OMD is the issue of E-Mobility and the impact it will have on the spring industry as a whole. The topic is definitely important, especially in relation to the present market conditions: the economic and cultural framework of 2019 shows a clearly different picture compared to that of the last edition, held in Taormina in 2017. At the time the market was rather frantic, and it was really hard to cope with all the orders, even after maxing out production capacity.
The present situation instead sees a slight decline in the automotive industry, mainly due to a climate of uncertainty: the technology of electric vehicles is not yet developed to the point where it can replace internal combustion engine cars. The field does not appear to be mature yet: from the electric vehicle charging stations, to the production of clean electricity, to the disposal of batteries, these are some of the reasons currently hindering purchases of new cars. While we wait to understand how the situation will evolve.
