Market-oriented Development Partnerships between Manufacturers and their Suppliers

摘要

Increasingly, manufacturers and their suppliers are working hand-in-hand in the development of new products. These development partnerships are aimed at meeting the tastes of the end-consumer as closely as possible, and therefore successfully placing the resulting product on the market. In practice, it is often the wishes of potential customers as regards design which determine the development of new machine systems or manufacturing processes. Conversely, the technology used to make a product has an influence on the way that product looks. The No. 1 communication and technology platform for manufacturers and suppliers in the ceramics industry is ceramitec 2003, organised by Messe Munchen. Presented at this fair, which takes places from 16 to 20 September 2003, will be all the latest technologies in the suppliers industry - machinery, equipment, systems, techniques and raw materials.
