Are you ready to take the next step for your business?

You can find out the answer to this question together with Felder Gruppe Romania. The next step for your business is the name of the campaign that Felder Gruppe Romania launched this month at BIFE-SIM.

"The main goal of this campaign is for people to define their development. We want to get them to figure out for themselves what the next step is for their business. Do they need people or another machine? Do they need to cut their losses? What are their goals, what do they expect from a new investment, from the next step of development? We believe that this development must have very well defined coordinates. You have to prioritise what you want. If I want to produce faster I need certain specifications. If I want to produce more flexibly I need something else. Defining the next step does not mean that we teach our partners what to do. They will do what they want to do every time. The important thing for us is that they open up. So we launch the development theme, we put it on the table and from there everyone will take the next step." said Dragoș Mărăcineanu, Felder Gruppe Romania.

The first step that Felder Gruppe Romania is taking in this campaign is to give partners the opportunity to try out next stepto experience it. To do this, they provide no less than 4 circulars free of charge for testing to businesses at different levels of development. Each machine will arrive in a workshop and will be used free of charge for one year. Now I think I've got your attention!

The 4 machines are:

• Hammer K4 perform sliding table formatting circular saw for beginners;

• Felder K 700 S sliding table circular saw for small and medium-sized companies;

• Format-4 kappa 550 e-motion sliding table circular moulding saw, dedicated to heavy duty producers;

• Industrial aggregate for format-4 kappa automatic 80.32.32 package formatting, dedicated to medium and large companies.

The sliding table circular saws are configured for universal machining, so you can also cut chipboard/MDF and wood with them, and the bundle saw circular saw is configured for chipboard. The machines in this campaign will be built in 2020 in Austria and Germany, so they'll be brand new when they arrive in your workshop or factory. On web page of the campaign launched by Felder you will discover the complete circular configurations and see which one fits your production type.

Felder Gruppe Romania not only offers you the circulars for use, but a whole package of services including full technical assistance through Blitz Service, operator training, but also auxiliary equipment for their operation, such as exhaustion. So you will have a turnkey solution to start working with from day one. You can find all the details on their website.

How does the campaign work and how can you benefit from it?

For one year, from September 2019 to September 2020, those who wish to receive one of the machines can sign up for the campaign on the event page. At BIFE-SIM 2020, the winners will be drawn at random, i.e. those who will be able to use the circular knitting machines free of charge for one year.

To be eligible and be one of the winners you must meet certain conditions. As with any investment you make, you need to make sure that you will be able to operate the circular in optimal conditions, both for the proper functioning of the circular and for its efficient operation, so that it really helps you to improve your production. The conditions that Felder Gruppe Romania sets for each machine are as follows:
