Our guest this episode, Michael Müller, CEO of Polytron Print, is running a successful mid-sized PCB production company in Germany and defying the industry's decline. We delve into a candid conversation about the value of "Made in Germany", the trend of reshoring, and how a commitment to high-quality and flexible production propels Polytron Print’s success. Michael imparts his wisdom on navigating the challenges of talent acquisition, the role of automation, and the resilience necessary to thrive amidst adversity.

We also shine a spotlight on the risks associated with maintaining a critical mass for support and ecosystem and grappling with the fallout of disappearing companies on suppliers. However, amidst these challenges, we also celebrate the triumphs of businesses like Polytron-Print and their continued steady growth.
