Dear customers, partners, and friends:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for being here and helping us make steps to reach our goals in 2021. Every year, our team sets goals to achieve. This year we had set 5 strategic goals:
1 – To be centered around our purpose
2 – To optimize production capacity
3 – To increase brand recognition
4 – To start a digital transformation
5 – To take actions to contribute to the ecological transition and to society
As the year is getting to an end, we would like to let you know more about what we have achieved.
1 – To be centered around our purpose
Center around our purpose is the most important for us since all the other goals are related to this.
We believe that innovation is essential for us to contribute to the prosperity of our customers.
Among all other innovations, we have launched two new machines this year: PERSEO and CRONOS 4.0.
PERSEO is a ground-breaking impulse welding machine. The patented design of PERSEO which uses the welding bar as fabric stop and no need of compressed air not only benefits our customers, but also contributes to the other important part of our purpose: Contribute to the ecological transition.
The launch of CRONOS 4.0 started the process of the standardization of equipping our machine with industry 4.0 functions. With industry 4.0 functions, our customers can connect with your ERP system, track the production, achieve remote control of production, and get remote support.
Our innovation is not limited to products. We are also innovating in organization to be more agile，in order to always respond quickly to market changes and customer needs.
We are structured by cells, not by hierarchy. You will find no titles like ¨manager¨ and ¨director¨ in Matic. Suggestions for improvement and problems will be discussed by cells, decision will be made by cell members together, no need to wait manager or director say ¨yes¨ for some level of decisions.
2 – To optimize production capacity
Optimizing production capacity is an import part of the effort to be more Agile. Among all other initiatives to improve agility, the following is an example of how we implemented Kanban in PERSEO production.
With this KANBAN, we will be able to produce and deliver PERSEO even faster and with minimum stock of spare parts.
All the spare parts needed for manufacturing PERSEO are organized and put in different boxes. The boxes of the same kind of spare parts are stacked one upon another. Whenever the box at the top is emptied by someone, it will be turned upside down, and this person will scan the QR code which stick by the side to make automatic reorder.
NO wait, NO paperwork. Clear, Clean and Fast.
3 – To increase brand recognition
Matic launched the first brand campaign. The theme of the campaign is ¨Matic is more than magic. We are real, we are ARTISANS OF INNOVATION¨.
The campaign puts the spotlight on the people beyond the products. It is the people that make Matic able to pursue its purpose.
We have also made efforts on ¨how-to¨ this year to help our customer to understand how Matic can help them in the production workflow. We made several complete-solution videos from cutting to welding to sewing, in order to show how to produce roller blinds, zip-screens, awnings and curtains with our machines for the entire workflow.
4 – To start a digital transformation
Live Demo System, Dealer website, App for remote service, we don´t stop in the process of digital transformation. We are already preparing for the new projects for year 2022.
5 – To take actions to contribute to the ecological transition and to society
We are well aware of the importance of environment, and our responsibility of contributing our part. This year, we have not only developed greener product like PERSEO, but also made steps to have a greener office.
We finished installing the photovoltaic solar system which provides electricity to our daily business operation. Since its installation, we have been saving 50-60% of electricity consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
Every month, we will internally release the data as shown in the figure below, indicating the energy and the carbon dioxide emissions saved. All employees will see this number. We believe this will further enhance the environmental awareness of the entire company.
In addition, we have said goodbye to plastic-bottled water, and use filter water in the office to reduce the plastic contamination.
2021 is also the second year since Matic started sponsoring PUCRA *. Thanks to this sponsorship, the students from PUCRA can get to know Matic. So far, we already had 5 students from PUCRA who chose to do an internship at Matic.
(*PUCRA is a robotic association of students of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Best European team in VEX 2019, organizer of VEX Barcelona, Spain and Mediterranean, and 8th position in the world final of the European Rover Challenge of 2020.)
WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW GOALS OF YEAR 2022, AND WE WISH YOU ACHIEVE YOURS!
