I read PIE, because ...
After fighting during this year in my personal career already for more than 30 years in this Industry, I have observed how we have been permanently transforming the industry, but also its relevant information. In the past it was useful to get any kind of valid knowledge, but in a time like today, where information equals excess, it is a special value to have THE RIGHT INFO available at THE RIGHT TIME. This is for us one of the key elements for being a PIE reader for most part of my business life.
What do you consider the special merits of PIE & KI Group?
Widespread, but precise; Relevant, but concise. Often, but on time. These are the main features we appreciate most.
What can PIE do for you or your business in the future?
I would suggest two areas for improvement / ideas:
Recurring group sections (or tags) where companies can find themselves more reflected. Example in our case: Semi-finished plastics vs raw materials (extrusion, cast or calendaring grades), or sheets vs films, printable vs non printable products, etc. Here we would gain in efficiency while reading mostly the relevant topics.
More market information on European and/or Country level. PIE could bring a huge value for the subscribers just by means of data analytics of specific submarkets of the total plastics world. Example: Market PMMA sheets cast or extruded, PC PVC ACM sheets or others, PVC rigid films, PVC flexible adhesive films, etc.
My anniversary greeting:
In two years’ time we will celebrate 75 years of existence and we are well aware how difficult is it to get “old” while stay in a “shining shape”. This is valid for people, but also for companies. The key is SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION, which in the end is nothing different to the well-known “continuous improvement” and “customer satisfaction”. I am sending you my most sincere congratulations to such a relevant milestone together with my special Thank You and wish you for now, yet another great 50 years.
