Regional Subsidiary
Center
VDMA Center is the contact for almost 400 member companies in Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland and the short line to the VDMA's technical experts and its network.

At the state level, we represent the interests of our members towards politics and science. Our work also focuses on regional market information and statistics, competent advice, public relations work and the organisation of events. We offer our members platforms for the exchange of experience - cross-sectoral and pre-competitive. After all, forming opinions on current economic and technical issues is an important basis of determining one's own position.
