In the face of falling prices, many manufacturers are now trying to maintain a challenging balancing act, maintaining prices that can compete with the new offerings while keeping the quality of the machine high. “[I hope] we can position ourselves with a product that has good quality so we don’t sell on price only and end up with a product that’s less robust than it should be,” Palmese says.

But Palmese has a prediction about why companies will end up on top: “In the end, the market will ultimately be driven by quality, not price,” he says.
