Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German industry is increasingly relocating production abroad. He referred to a recent Forsa survey of 150 managing directors: according to this, 15 percent of industrial companies have relocated or planned to relocate their production abroad. Among companies with more than 100 million euros in revenue, this figure is 31 percent; 21 percent are reducing production capacities in Germany. According to Boeminghaus, 83 percent of respondents see the high costs in Germany as a major problem, with 100 percent in the automotive industry. He mentioned Miele, which is relocating parts of its washing machine production to Poland, and Bizerba, which concentrates production capacities in Serbia. Although companies continue to invest, according to Boeminghaus, they are increasingly doing so outside Germany, where they find better economic conditions. As a source, he cited Handelsblatt from October 16, 2026. https://t.co/DTiUyKeUwN #Industrie #Mittelstand #Abwanderung (translated)
