Andries Verder, CEO of the <link http: www.verder.com external-link-new-window>Verder Group: "The lines between manufacturer and distributor will be shortened. These changes require a complete revision of the organizational structures as we have known them up to now. It also offers great opportunities for internationally organized companies.
IT and "<link internal-link>Industry 4.0" obviously play a very important role in this change process, but the road to the way of working in the future cannot be achieved without a focus on organizational structures.
We see a clear trend where customers are better informed and look for suppliers that are objective in their selection of technologies. It is the Verder Group's mission to have all possible know-how in niche market technologies in the field of manufacturing, in order to offer customers real solutions ".
