For example, new technologies have to be developed or existing experience has to be transferred to new products […] In hundreds of plants we have built, there have only been four or five that have been manufactured again in exactly the same way – usually when a company wanted to increase its capacity and needed the same plant again […] We build machines that have not existed in this way before, so you can call all our machines prototypes.”
