to innovation and will be at the core of the solutions that we present at EuroBLECH 2026 in Hanover, Germany( 20-23 October 2026).
ISMR: Please highlight any notable successes and achievements for EMC over the past two years.
AS: Over the past few years, EMC has increased its turnover across smart, easy-touse machines and now advanced solutions for top-tier customers with demanding quality standards. This growth reflects our ability to deliver not only high-performance equipment, but also complete solutions and dependable service.
ISMR: How are you leveraging technologies such as augmented reality, Big Data, VR, robotics etc. for your business?
The GIANT 1650 model for heavy-duty industrial applications.
AS: We are actively developing these technologies. Since 2020, our machines have offered remote connectivity and augmented-reality support tools. We strongly believe that rapid response, direct technical assistance and effective knowledge sharing are key drivers of customer satisfaction. These technologies also help us to strengthen internal expertise and are now essential for competing successfully in a global market.
ISMR: How have you positioned EMC with respect to artificial intelligence? Are you using this technology and, if so, how? Do you have plans to integrate AI in the future?
AS: We firmly believe that people— their expertise, judgement and experience— remain the decisive factor. At the same time, we are investing significantly in artificial intelligence to prepare for the future and enhance the way that we design, operate and support our machines.

We are pursuing this development not only within EMC, but also through the broader capabilities and resources of the Felder Group, enabling a more ambitious and effective approach.
ISMR: Is there anything else that you wish to add?
AS: I strongly believe that EMC is now at a turning point, with several products that have the potential to become market bestsellers in the coming months. Our portfolio combines proven, conventional machines with highly specialised solutions, bringing craftsmanship-inspired expertise into scalable industrial production.
This ability to unite practical expertise, innovation and industrialisation is what makes EMC distinctive.
ISMR: Thank you for your time. n
EMC and GLS Tanks
An EMC deburring machine has improved quality and productivity at GLS Tanks International GmbH.
“ GLS Tanks has optimised the production of glass-fused-to-steel tanks by introducing our new deburring solution( combined with boeck abrasive tools). The DIABLO M1650 CC system delivers cleaner, more uniform steel surfaces before enamelling, a critical stage that directly affects the durability and corrosion resistance of the finished tanks,” EMC told ISMR.
“ As a result, the rate of parts requiring rework has been reduced from 10 % to 6 %, while productivity and overall process reliability have improved significantly. Tool wear has also decreased, helping to lower operating costs and increase efficiency,” it concluded.
