Interview with Mats Edström, Export Sales Manager at Somas Instrument AB.
Somas Instrument – Silver Sponsor DSM19
Somas Instrument supports DSM19 as Silver Sponsor. What contributed to make this decision?
Since DSM is reaching our key customers in this segment.
What are your expectations for DSM19?
The personal meetings with the key persons involved in the shipping business.
What is your best memory from DSM17?
The friendly atmosphere in the meetings with our existing and potential customers.
What do you find are the opportunities and the biggest challenges in the Shipping Industry today?
The opportunity is the possibility to use our valves for new environmental friendly solutions for exhaust gas systems. The biggest challenge is to adopt our products to simplify the installation due to the lack of process knowledge caused by that the new players are coming in to the ship-building industry.”
How would you describe DSM in one word?
Relation-building.
And finally, do you prefer a sail or a motor boat for recreation, and why so?
I prefer a motorboat. You know “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”.
