Wednesday 27 March - 4 pm
Disrupted supply chains, geopolitical tensions and competition, higher energy and commodity prices, disruption of classic contract manufacturing, Learn to live with it !
Machine builders and OEMS are only as strong as their weakest link (the subcontractor). In times where money is no longer free, inventories have built up, margins are narrowing, people are becoming scarcer, European suppliers have to navigate through stormy weather - let alone invest in digitisation and automation, and circular manufacturing. Is the business model of the Benelux subcontractor in jeopardy, and what does the future of industrial supply look like?
