A Strong Portfolio, Organized into Five Segments
Automotive Technology
The vehicle industry has been one of the key industries of the German economy for many decades. This sector is still critically dependent on the expertise and skills of small and medium-sized manufacturers and suppliers. Their flexibility and capacity for innovation contribute significantly to the leading position that German companies hold in this market. Their capabilities will be all the more important in the future as the market has recently been experiencing some turmoil. Changes in drive technology, alternative mobility concepts and trade disputes are leading to a fundamental transformation. Nevertheless, companies with innovative ideas and the courage to do so can forge new paths.
The companies in this INDUS segment offer a wide range of services for the automotive industry – from vehicle design to model and prototype construction, pre-series and small lot production, testing, measurement and special vehicle solutions to standard component manufacture for automobiles as well as commercial and special vehicles.
