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!

Chair­woman of the Man­age­ment Board
