Bertram Kawlath: "Investments are migrating - innovation hub Germany in danger"

"Germany as an industrial location thrives on innovation. And innovation only takes place where production is located. The mechanical and plant engineering industry is determined to maintain its production in its home market - but this is not possible if location conditions continue to deteriorate. Genuine, far-reaching reforms in Germany are essential if we want to prevent more and more research, production, and thus innovation from taking place abroad!" With this warning to the German federal government, VDMA President Bertram Kawlath assessed the coalition's work to date at the association's annual press conference, expressly criticizing the recently reignited class warfare rhetoric from parts of the Social Democrats.
