RSA will spend additional money on its
worldwide service network. The company
aims to consolidate its market position
in the global automotive supply industry,
achieving uniform quality standards from
any location through a uniform machine
concept. This requires a worldwide
efficient and reliable service from machine
manufacturers.
RSA considers the prospects for its
tube-processing branch to be absolutely
positive. The company’s profits of the
past two years will be invested in up-to-

strategy on opening up additional sales
potentials with short notice equipment
expansion, in case production capacity
decreases. This way, the branch is well
