Press Releases and Statements
Press conference VDMA Baden-Württemberg 2023 - 21.09.2023
Difficult conditions for the mechanical and plant engineering industry
Order situation is lukewarm, investment plans are at a standstill. USA continues to be the driving force, while China disappoints.
The German government's hydrogen plans - 22.09.2023
A strategy with too many question marks
The update of the National Hydrogen Strategy is ambitious, but lacks the necessary depth. The strategy breathes a spirit of planned economy, while the clear entrepreneurial signals for the market ramp-up are far too often missing.
Study on chip shortage - 20.09.2023
"Europe must catch up in the semiconductor market"
Semiconductors play a key role for industrial products. Europe therefore has chip production in its strategic focus. A VDMA study shows that this presents both opportunities and challenges for the mechanical engineering sector.
Total ban on PFAS - 18.09.2023
ZVSHK & VDMA Valves for a sustainable SHK industry
Both associations jointly reject the EU's planned total ban on PFAS.
On the speech of the EU Commission President - 13.09.2023
"Interventions and subsidies do not make Europe stronger as a business location".
The EU Commission wants to re-establish a stronger industrial base in Europe. However, interventions, subsidies and a misguided industrial policy are not suitable for putting the EU in pole position in global competition.
