In 2008, China was the third most important export market for the German mechanical engineering industry (10.9 bn EUR in exports, + 14.9 %). For the German Fluid Power Industry export data amounts to 426 m. EUR (+ 50 %).
The Fluid Power Association of the VDMA, represent the interests of approx. 180 members from the fields of hydraulics, pneumatics and sealing technology. Our membership comprises more than 80% of all the companies in the industry operating in the German market. We provide our members with targeted information on all aspects of fluid power technology.
In working groups and committees we collaborate closely with experts from our member companies: With the industry – for the industry.
Thanks to their high capacity for innovation and their good international technological competitiveness, the fluid power industry has been able to increase their exports continuously for many years (fluid power 52 %). An international comparison quickly reveals that Germany has been the leading export nation for many years. Moreover, in excess of one third of all the companies in these industries now have production facilities outside Germany, most notably in China, India, Eastern Europe and the USA.
