Dear Readers,
In order to remain future-proof, companies have to continuously break new ground and venture into uncharted territories. The most important element here is having the courage to change.
The history of the German SME sector is one of innovation and the ability to boldly reinvent itself time and time again, adapting to the changing circumstances. Small and medium-sized companies have become international market leaders.
This principle also applies to the requirements of the digital “transformation”. Digitalization is an ongoing process and – alongside automation – is key for us in mastering the main challenges we are facing in our time – from climate protection to securing competitive jobs.
SCHUNK is strongly dedicated to digitalization, which is evident in its rapidly growing portfolio of digital solutions as well as in our commitment to creating standardized data spaces for the digitalization of industrial supply chains. Side by side with our customers, partners and suppliers.
Hand in hand for tomorrow
Enjoy reading and discovering more exciting topics!
