FST Challenges Global Shortage of Workforce; No Skilled Workers Required to Operate our Machines

FST designs and develops high-end industrial packaging machines, and the global shortage of workers is relevant to all our clients. Therefore, unlike other competing offerings, we put in a lot of effort, so our products require minimal human intervention. When our machines tend a human intervention, we ensure there’s no need for qualified engineers to activate, control and maintain. This approach gives us a competitive edge in days of global shortage of workers disrupting industries and the supply chain.
A recent study showed an estimated shortage of 85 million workers around the globe by 2030. The deficit is almost everywhere: in the United States, there are nearly 11 million job vacancies, Europe is struggling to fill over 1.2 million open job roles, while employers in Australia are working to fill 400,000 vacant positions. Singapore saw 163 job vacancies for every 100 available candidates.
The manufacturing and supply chain segments experience a lack of workers: In the United States, there could be over 2 million unfilled jobs in manufacturing by 2030, and manufacturers in the UK are facing the most extensive labor shortage in over 30 years. The reasons are varied in different regions: technology skills gap, aging population, low wages, and immigration halt due to the pandemic.
We at FST believe the industrial landscape will change dramatically, and we prepare accordingly: easy-to-operate and maintain industrial machinery that requires minimal intervention, like in our Rewinding products.

New Model of Pre-Stretch Rewinder
FeldmanST is proud to launch the new model of our pre-stretch automatic and compact high-speed PE stretch film rewinder for hand and machine roll rewinder. The rewinder improves the pre-stretch affect up to 400% (1m=5m). Pre-stretching makes the initial stretch film thinner while remaining solid and tear-resistant. The rewinder is easy to install and operate; the two-step pre-stretching system enables edge folding of standard rewinding without pre-stretching possibility to get rolls of different softness and high film transparency. The rewinder contributes to fewer expenses and less waste. For more information, watch the video: https://youtu.be/4pU_rf7QxnQ visit our site or call us today
