Simon wants to buy time. The electrical equipment maker terminating the internationalization process begun a decade ago and has made a severe purge its business in Spain. Dragged by the collapse of the building, has cut nearly half its workforce (from 1,750 to 850 people, while abroad adds 3,000 workers). Its global turnover has fallen from 350 million euros in 2007 to 250 last year, which also was at a loss.
In that situation, the domestic market is a couple of years to lose the flag major source of income to the steps of growth that continues to set China's first foreign country that attacked with plant and already contributes 20% of its revenues. The overseas business accounts for 61% and will continue to grow as inertial, without opening new plants.
In these, Simon tries to reduce bleeding in Spain, whose electricity sector has suffered a 59% drop in sales and growth targets until 2014, says its CEO, Xavier Torra. In this context there is the creation of a new society, Fluvia, breaking industrial royalties that had characterized the group so far: great lighting to the public and mass production of small electrical equipment for linear mass distribution. The de Fluvia is a leap into a new business: lighting design and low power consumption (LED) aimed at offices and shops. An alternative to the fall of all sources of income in Spain and the opening of a new sales channel for Simon: direct.
The launch of the new company has not meant great efforts, more than two years of work in collaboration with the designer Josep Lluscà and an investment of one million euros. Estimates put the number of Fluvia business into a million euros in its first full year of operation in 2012, and exponential growth. In return, the company will give their workload plant Riudellots de la Selva (Girona), one of the factories affected by the reductions.
