Storm-proof: Safe through economic turbulence

Header Description Lotse

Industry in Germany and Europe has run into rough seas. Growth and orders are lacking, international trade is being damaged by wars and tariffs and a flood of regulations is slowing down the innovative strength of companies. In this general climate, it is not enough to simply rely on politicians to turn things around. Every company is called upon to take its own initiative and make itself even more weatherproof than before.

The VDMA supports its member companies in difficult economic times with a wide range of information, specific advice, events and, of course, personal consultation. We keep an eye on sales and markets as well as costs and resilience. We want to be the navigator who is on board to find the right course. As VDMA President Bertram Kawlath recently put it in an interview: “When the wind blows strongly, you have to get out of the cabin, even if it's not very comfortable outside.”
