We review the major challenges that Saspi<\/strong> has faced and will face in the future thanks to the interview with Mikel Zaldua<\/strong>, Project Engineer and Marketing Manager at Saspi, with more than 10 years of experience in the company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2022<\/strong> has been a year full of novelties and challenges<\/strong> for the machine tool sector, highlighting the price increase and the shortage<\/strong> of raw materials and electrical components, which have marked this year.<\/p>\n

Saspi, dedicated to the design and manufacture of machines for fasteners, has faced these challenges and has more than overcome them, thanks to its ease of adaptation<\/strong> to the new circumstances and its involvement in offering solutions with the highest quality and the latest technology incorporated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBy not depending on anyone, we can make decisions and provide answers more quickly.\u201d – Mikel Zaldua, Project Engineer and Marketing Manager at Saspi.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This has been achieved thanks to its focus on the customer: with a close and personalized treatment<\/strong> to find the best solution in each case.<\/p>\n

RAPID ADAPTATION TO CHANGE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The pandemic has forced many companies to change certain aspects of their business. How have you managed to overcome this challenge at Saspi?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our main market is aviation<\/strong>, and the pandemic was a severe blow to our customers because there was no travel and no airplanes were being manufactured. As a result, the aviation fastener manufacturers had to reduce their workforces<\/strong> in order to keep going.<\/p>\n

In this problem they saw the need to modernize the machines<\/strong> they had in order to be able to produce with less labor and so we were able to receive orders for machines.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the system for receiving and accepting machines has changed. Now there are more online meetings even to present and receive machines via video call.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How has the fastener tooling and machinery industry changed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that as in other industries, what has changed the most in the machine tool industry is the connectivity of the machines. The need to share data to improve machine productivity and better track machine status.<\/p>\n

International demand for machines has also increased, as has been the case in China in recent years. Saspi has always been an exporting company from the beginning, so internationalization is part of our DNA. We currently estimate that we export 90% of our production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does Saspi manage to adapt to changes in the sector?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We attend seminars and courses as well as trade fairs and other sectors of interest to keep abreast of the latest developments. In addition, we have a fully equipped R&D department that works to adapt to all the changes in the sector with the latest technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always listen to the opinions and concerns of our customers, this allows us to learn from them and get to know their needs first hand.\u201d<\/em> – Mikel Zaldua, Project Engineer and Marketing Manager at Saspi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OUR VALUES: PROXIMITY AND PERSONALIZED SERVICE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you have clients who have been with you since the beginning?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have current customers who have been with us for more than 40 years. <\/strong>There are many who have changed names and owners but remain loyal to Saspi when it comes to purchasing machines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you do to maintain a close and lasting relationship with your customers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are a company that thanks to our size, we can be very close<\/strong> to our customers and treat each case in a personalized<\/strong> way, knowing their needs and concerns and giving them the best possible response or solution.<\/p>\n

In addition, our contact with the client does not end once the project is delivered, we have an after-sales follow-up<\/strong> that also stands out for its proximity to the client.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Environmental awareness has been gaining importance in recent years. Do you carry out any action related to sustainability?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Saspi we are in a constant search to be more sustainable<\/strong> and we carry out daily actions<\/strong> with the aim of helping the environment:<\/p>\n
