“We are not thinking about universal machines,” says Dr Uwe-Peter Weigmann, WAFIOS’ chairman of the board. “We think about the product and the customer’s needs. From there, we develop technologies for new machines and optimise a special product. We always talk to our customers to ensure that we continue to be the leading provider of the fastest and highest-quality production process.” Metal Springs
