What will be the scenario facing rubber moulders when the current economic recession ends? What strategies should they implement to recover the market share and competitiveness of the past? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in a conference on the 'yesterday, today and tomorrow' of rubber May 13 at Persico headquarters in Nembro (Bergamo, Italy). The event is promoted in cooperation with 3 other Italian companies: Z-Lab, Gibitre Instruments and UTP Vision. To ensure a 360° view of the field, together with an analysis of the trends and market demand characterising it, the programme will include a presentation on quality and the environment by Fabio Negroni, director of Cerisie (Italian laboratory supported by Italy's CNR for research and certification of elastomeric systems).
