The increase in the cost of raw materials, the installed over-capacity, the rising energy cost and the new regulations, among other issues, represent an uncertainty in the sector that needs to be faced.
Bearing all this in mind, from an innovation viewpoint, technology represents a differential value that provides a qualitative leap for companies that decide to complement their products and processes with technological solutions.
