After the great growth of 2022, Esautomotion increasing trend is confirmed also in 2023.

At Esautomotion it’s time for an early in-depth analysis of the final sales data for 2023. From them, a very positive year is coming out, in the wake of a 2022 which had already recorded outstanding numbers.

“We are really happy with how 2023 ended, well above the most optimistic forecasts” – Andrea Senzolo, General Manager of Esautomotion, comments– “We left a 2022 that had been nothing short of exceptional but in the end we managed to reconfirm ourselves by adding a further growth, too”.

Growing up in a difficult context.

“It would be euphemistic to define 2023 as an uneasy year” – Senzolo highlights – “We knew that in 2022 a number of customers had overstocked to protect from possible shortages of components. Add to this the complicated economic and political scenario with interest rates at the highest levels, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the one that exploded in Gaza, with the addition of tensions in the Red Sea at the end of the year”.

“Determinant elements for our results were the excellent performances in Italy and China, the strengthening of our presence in the USA and Turkey and the incorporation, in the second half of the year, of Sangalli motors range into our product portfolio. Without forgetting the definitive success of the ViS800 series, especially in strategic sectors such as sheet metal and marble cutting”.

Italy, China and Türkiye on the shields.

“In Italy the last laggards have moved to take advantage of the Industry 4.0 incentives before their definitive expiration. China deserves a separate analysis. In the face of lackluster domestic demand, the export of machinery to Western markets was, however, sustained” –  Senzolo underlines – “Thanks to our direct subsidiary, Esautomotion China, we have gained high reputation with local producers, which allowed us to replace the Chinese numerical controls, which do not offer any type of technical assistance abroad”. The Esautomotion Turkey branch has finally taken off: it was created to exploit, as per the Chinese model, the growth potential of local manufacturing exports, which is benefiting from its proximity to Europe”.

2024. Consolidate the positions acquired and plan the future, starting with Industry 5.0.

“Obviously, at this stage forecasts cannot be certain but, as in our DNA, we will stay vigilant to react promptly to new opportunities or changes in the scenario” – Senzolo announces – The objective is to benefit from the significant investments carried out at organizational level, such as the acquisition of Sangalli, the entry of new highly-profiled managers, the optimization of logistics and interfunctional efficiency”.

“We are investing heavily in R&D to adapt our future CNCs to Industry 5.0 paradigms, which will focus on optimizing production using cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to create an environment of more ergonomic and individual-focused work experience” – Senzolo anticipates – “Industry 5.0 also aims to respond to pressing social and environmental needs, promoting the social responsibility of companies and the sustainability of production for a more resilient future, focused on the well-being of human kind and of our planet. A new fascinating challenge that we are taking up with the usual enthusiasm and passion”
