Staying the course in turbulent times
In 2009, the financial crisis has the global economy firmly in its grip. Demand declines, and the electronics industry also comes under pressure. However, our focus on demanding applications in medical technology and Aerospace & Defence helps to stabilise our business.
In the following years, we continue to strengthen our collaboration as a group. In 2010, we operate under a common umbrella brand and intensify technology and knowledge transfer between our sites. In doing so, we bring our development and manufacturing expertise even closer together, laying the foundation for new integrated solutions.
This connection lays the foundation for further innovation. Miniaturisation, materials, mechanics and electronics increasingly converge. During this period, we also see strong market growth in Aerospace & Defence.
We have proven ourselves in economically difficult times and in markets with the highest quality and reliability requirements, grown and successfully integrated new companies. But how do we achieve further growth without compromising quality, reliability and customer proximity?
