The German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW)

German machine tools are in demand the whole world over. The products concerned feature innovative, leading-edge technologies; the companies operate on an international scale, offering their customers single-sourced products, solutions and services. The performative excellence of the German machine tool industry has been crucial in shaping the continuingly superlative reputation of the Made in Germany attribute.

The success of the companies concerned is due not least to their highly qualified workforces, the good infrastructure Germany provides for production operations, the dense network of responsively capable vendors, plus discerning customers, with whom new designs are very often developed and trialled, and not least the sophisticated research scene, which makes sure that the machine tools incorporate the very latest advances in the field.
