Electronica 24: Exploring Resilience in Global Manufacturing with GPV CEO Bo Lybæk

EMS@C-LEVEL

I join Bo Lybæk GPV CEO on their booth at Electronica 2024 to unravel the complexities of global strategy in a world rife with political and economic uncertainties. How do businesses plan for the year 2025 with the recent US elections and potential rate cuts on the horizon? Bo offers a glimpse into GPV's strategic expansion efforts across Southeast Asia, Slovakia, and Mexico.
He sheds light on how the company is navigating the transition from globalization to regionalization, all while contending with the competitive pressures from China. As the global business landscape becomes more unpredictable, adapting to shifting regulations, tariffs, and market restrictions becomes crucial. My conversation with Bo delves into the vital agility required to flourish in this volatile environment. While past trends leaned towards globalization, today's challenges demand flexibility and resilience.
Bo & I also discuss the numbers behind the numbers, exploring what makes GPV unique, as well as the importance of team and culture, and doing business in an 'orderly' and planned fashion. Bo’s strategic insights provide a firsthand look at how EMS businesses like GPV can thrive despite global uncertainties, offering valuable lessons in competitiveness and resilience.
