As market competition tends to heat up, how to crack the homogenisation involution has become a common problem faced by thousands of industries. In the case of SKF, innovation is the way to break the game, and the road to innovation is not a lonely battle, the industry needs to collaborate to create results.
The most important thing to remember is that it’s not just about innovation, it’s also about the way you do it.
