4. JOIN FORCES
As the saying goes, “if you can’t beat them
join them”. This can prove to be a powerful
move to overcome uncertainty and is
exactly what Atlas Copco did when its
Motor Vehicle Industry business division
faced the challenge of rising demand in the
electric car sector.
“Atlas Copco’s Industrial Technique division
has merged its Tools and Industrial
Assembly Solutions business areas
together, to create an innovative joining
partner for manufacturers,” explains Clive
Sharp, Business Line Manager for Atlas
Copco’s Motor Vehicle Industry business
division. “With products and expertise
for all assembly applications, including
adhesive dispensing, riveting, flow drill
fastening, battery joining, sealing and
quality inspection, we can meet future
market demand, in particular within
electric vehicle assembly.”
5. EXPLORE NEW GEOGRAPHIC
MARKETS
Where some may see uncertainty, others
see opportunity. Export markets can inject
a fresh lease of life to your existing product
offering, with demand from new customers
and new industry sectors.
At a time when many businesses were
considering leaving the UK, Swedish
automation specialist Novotek decided to
enter the UK market. Acquiring Glasgow-
based Kerrco Automation Ltd, it created
Novotek UK and Ireland, and became the
sole distributor of GE Digital products in
the region.
“In the UK, Novotek saw the potential to
develop this market from an automation
perspective,” explains George Walker,
Managing Director of Novotek UK &
Ireland. “Our goal is to modernise British
manufacturing, using edge-computing
hardware to help manufacturers gain
better insights, improve productivity, and
ultimately become more profitable.”
