Main challenge for Spanish companies is specialization. The Spanish companies are looking not at mass production, they are looking at specialties with high value, and this is their main point, not mass production.

The Spanish textile machinery manufacturers are looking for their own opportunity in this global world, mainly taking into consideration: Adaptation, innovation, specialization, quality and flexibility, that could define the transformation process of the Spanish textile machinery sector.
