f ­urther products were developed over the years, such as various machines for spool manufacturing, spool feeding and winding head forming and slot insulation machines. In 2016, DMG meccanica, with a workforce of forty employees, achieved a turn­ over of ten million Euro. Five percent was in the home market of Italy, 40 percent in the EU and 55 percent in non-EU countries. 60 percent of the customer portfolio is comprised of well-known electric motor manu­ facturers and suppliers to the automotive industry. In addition, DMG meccanica is ­ particularly well-represented in the important e-mobility...

On land, on water and in the air – around the clock Increasingly complex tasks, rising customer expectations and growing time pressure, worldwide: GROB Service takes on these challenges every day to provide the best possible service for its customers in all respects. A quick journey around the globe gives an insight into the exciting and very special work of the GROB Service team. simultaneously to the Materials Warehouse managers in Shanghai, Dalian and Korea.
