"The mechanical engineering industry is, metaphorically speaking, the trunk of the German economy. [„.] The latest findings are absorbed - from new materials to sensor technology, microelectronics and information and communication technologies. The industry incorporates this knowledge into intelligent products and processes. Thus, the mechanical engineering lndustry is the key growth driver for many branches of the German economy. [ ... ] Technology for People is the motto and driving force. Solutions for the major challenges of our time - energy, environment and mobillty - are the fruits of aspiration."
