Machine / Plant Construction
Machine and plant construction remains the flagship sector of German industry. Vigorous innovation and a constant search for technical advances safeguard a world market position for these companies, most of which are medium-sized. Many of them are world leaders in their specialties. Their products range from individual components to entire complex, precisely coordinated production facilities.
It’s not an easy task for these mostly medium-sized companies to stay innovative, meet delivery deadlines, maintain international quality standards, and still get the price they want. On top of that, they face an international regulatory labyrinth. At the national level, available public funding must be identified and applied for. Nationally and internationally, they must comply with an impenetrable tangle of regulations, all the while keeping their main eye on their core business.
No matter whether you operate in injection molding of plastics, production of high-pressure pumps or printing presses, industrial systems for cleaning parts, filtration or automation – our expertise and strong international network can help you master these challenges.
You’ll have a standing contact partner who can draw on our multidisciplinary teams of experienced accountants, auditors, tax advisors, and corporate consultants and lawyers. We can develop practical solutions for complex issues, and can point out prospective risks and opportunities that future developments pose for your company.
