Industrials / Services

The production output of the Germany industrial landscape still takes a top position worldwide. Along with globally renowned corporations, a large number of small and medium sized companies are synonymous with the economic efficiency of the German industry.

Regardless of company size, all of them act in an international environment as a result of globalisation and must face the challenges at issue.

Globalisation has led to a substanstial structural change within the German economy in recent years. Mergers and takeovers, shifts in location and the reduction of production capacities were the reaction to considerable cost pressure initiated not least by competition from Asian countries, which were able to produce at signifcantly lower cost and have come to deliver good quality products. However, the immediate neighbourhood, imposed by the EU eastern enlargement, also poses new chances and markets for the German industry.

The force to change will continue. Increasing costs for raw materials, energy and logistics necessitate further steps. Control of the supply chain, safeguarding of quality and on-time delivery will see a rise in relevance. High innovative power as well as additional service aspects and engineering services round off the portfolio.

In addition, core competencies and the need for outsourcing or shifting services has become an important focus for companies. Owing to changes in the political landscape, the temporary staffing sector serves as a good example for this trend.
