Machinery manufacturers

The internationalization of production-based industries is particularly noticeable in the machinery manufacturing sector. Products and techniques developed in Germany and Europe are in great demand on the international market.

Both the fast pace of innovation and ecological change are factors that impact manufacturers’ supply chains. Strong fluctuations in sales volume are the norm in this sector – and many manufacturers have large supply chains that often span the globe. Value creation is increasingly taking place on a localized basis.

The dynamics of the machinery manufacturing market require a large degree of flexibility in capacity as well as detailed insight into cost structures. Transparent and robust supply chains from supplier to customer are an absolute must-have for machinery manufacturers to ensure their competitiveness.
