Vom Marktteilnehmer zum Marktgestalter

Innovative thinking opens up new growth prospects in mechanical and plant engineering. Mechanical and plant engineering has been traditionally very important to the industrial location of Germany [1]. With an export share of 70 %, it has a considerable direct influence on economic structure and job market. In addition, mechanical engineering is the "innovation engine" for other core industries in Germany - as supplier of production equipment for industries such as the car manufacture, plastics processing and electrical engineering sectors. Only through this production equipment can innovative products reach production readiness in the first place, and can "Made in Germany" continue to enjoy an excellent reputation all over the world
