Desma managing director addresses WFSGI forum
29/11/2016
More than 200 delegates, a record-breaking number, from 20 countries met over the two days to discuss issues such as digitalisation, innovation and robotics.
Christian Decker, joint-managing director of automated footwear manufacturing equipment developer Desma (pictured), explained that the industry has been shifting toward smaller lot sizes, declining warehouse inventories, growing product variation and a sharp rise in consumer influence. He said: “I am convinced that in the near future new production modules will allow companies to establish shoe production in urban locations and consumers could have ‘freshly baked shoes’ of their choice made for them while they have a cup of coffee.”
