Small and medium-sized enterprises suffer par-
ticularly because there is little left at the bottom line to invest in modern production facilities and research. That’s enormously important for us because our prod- uct quality and innovative production methods are what distinguish our facilities worldwide. This is only possible because our skilled workers and engineers are continu- ously refining and developing procedures. We produce at the highest level, and not only in large amounts, as is often the case in low-wage countries.
Besides energy-saving and globalization, what are the other challenges diecasters have to face?
Eder: We must not forget the people. Our skilled
workers, metallurgical engineers and PhD graduates are our greatest asset. It has to stay that way. For more than 100 years, the casting industry in Germany has been a leader in casting technology, metal development and smelting technology. Training in our sector goes beyond what is required. We have the best training centers and higher education institutions. Preserving these and kindling young people’s interest in these professions is a challenge we are happy to face. A further challenge is ineffective government lobbying.
We need to show more confidence and speak more loudly about our matters in public. We have made tentative begin- nings, through the trade organizations and regional politi- cians. Tis has to be continued. ■ To receive this digital magazine in the future, go to

要，因为我们的产品质量和创新的生产方式是我们在 全球范围内的核心竞争力。这就要求我们的熟练工和 工程师不断地细化提升生产流程。我们负责最高水平 的生产，而不仅仅是大的数量，这在低工资国家尤其 如此。
除了节能和全球化之外，压铸业还面临什么挑 战？
Eder:要重视人的作用。我们的熟练工，冶金工程 师和博士生是我们最宝贵的资产，并且还要持续这 样。100多年来，德国铸造一直在铸造技术、金属研 制和熔炼技术上领先全球。我们领域的培训比想象的 更重要。我们有最好的培训中心和高等教育机构。保 持这些并且激发年轻人对这些领域的兴趣是我们很乐 意面临的挑战。
另外一个挑战就是无效的政府游说。在公众领域， 我们对自己的问题必须更自信并且呼声更大。我们已 经暂定通过贸易组织和地方政府来开始，并且还要继 续。■

Globalization has not spared diecast parts. Production is carried out abroad at consid- erably lower prices.
压铸业也没能逃脱全 球化的影响。国外可 以以很低的成本完成 生产。
