Entrepreneurs
Milan , June 7, 2014 – 16:52
Three thousand entrepreneurs who are booked to make investments in new machines are not news to many industrial applaud or boo. Yet this small movement indicates to us a novelty is going to finish what the economist Gian Maria Gros-Pietro defines “investment strike” occurred in the hardest years of the Great Depression. Three thousand is the number of requests received by the Ministry of Economic Development to obtain the benefit of the New Sabatini, the provision that provides subsidized credit to SMEs who want to buy goods. The Minister Federica Guidi has promised that if he went out of the ceiling for 2014 (€ 2.5 billion), the government would be ready to reinstate allocating a similar amount. That after years of lackluster we were near a turnaround had already reported the amazing +79% of orders in the first quarter of 2014 announced by UCIMU, the trade association of manufacturers of machine tools and robots, and therefore the data arrives at the Sabatini confirmation of a movement that was already underway only on the basis of free market dynamics.
is clear that if so many entrepreneurs in the same direction it reinforces the idea that sharing is the question and that there is a need to equip themselves better to intercept . In addition, the machines installed in Italian factories in these years of non-renewal is aged threatening to undermine our international competitiveness. “You can say that to some extent are obliged investments – says Gros-Pietro – Meanwhile in fact have changed radically and products are most suitable machines and performance than before. It is often convenient to install even a customized system that holds together machining and assembly and ensure it can produce, as appropriate, an unlimited quantity of all components perfectly equal. ”
If you go by the numbers aggregates more detailed examination of who orders the new machines is the identikit of users varies a lot . Stands the aerospace industry are looking for more advanced solutions to make the aircraft lighter, reducing fuel costs and extending the autonomy in flight but also asks the automotive assets to innovate. Very sold are the fiber laser technologies that consume less and allow more flexibility in metal processing. Even the transfer machines and workstations are more flexible than their predecessors and should identify a product Italian “ad hoc, with many adaptations that could be called tailoring ‘,’ which puts us at the shelter by their German competition” (Gros-Pietro ).
In addition to the major users please note the activism of small businesses , mostly account-subcontractors, who reported working in Italy who had moved in emerging countries, however, compromising the quality of the final product. SMEs have thus needs modernization to support the new demand created by the “leakage” but also because they have to ensure compliance with safety regulations and quality standards (always higher), thus avoiding the risk of onerous penalties or even being expelled from the supply chain.
I n the occasion of the meeting of Confindustria Minister Guidi anticipated that the government could take a further measure to be attached to Sabatini to encourage investment in high-tech machinery to the model of the Tremonti ter (tax exemption of reinvested earnings). In this respect, Ucimu is working to design a measure to encourage the replacement of production systems (not just machine tools) obsolete thereby, in addition to improving the performance of the machines, including energy saving, safety and raising the professionalism of the technicians. As a result of all of the professionals who will be needed will increasingly be able to use modern technologies, have the basic culture of ‘learning to learn’ and learn foreign languages for moving in international markets. It is clear that we are talking about a “movement” that unfortunately affects almost exclusively the North, the South according to estimates published yesterday by Istat, relative to 2013 on the fall in GDP by area, showed a reduction of 4%, double then compared to the overall national figure.
