Discover the cluster SMAB and the mechanical engineering region Saxony-Anhalt
Mechanical engineering is one of the most important industry sectors in Saxony-Anhalt. High technological standards and great innovative potential act to secure system leadership in the fields of fluidized bed processes, conveyor technology and innovative software solutions.
Industry focal points include equipment and mechanical engineering, robotics, smart production (i.e. INDUSTRIE 4.0), process development, efficient and intelligent manufacturing techniques, and environmental systems as well as resource efficiency and recycling. One in five of Saxony-Anhalt’s manufacturing industry employees work in the mechanical engineering sector, responsible for generating around 10 percent of total manufacturing industry turnover in the state. The industry is also one of Saxony-Anhalt’s top export business sectors.
The cluster SMAB - Sondermaschinen- und Anlageanbau (“Special-Purpose Machine and Plant Engineering”) supports companies in developing interlinked system solutions, energy-efficient systems and manufacturing technologies as well as medical technology products and services.
Thanks to stable partnerships with research institutes and strong networks, companies are able to pool their expertise, develop an attractive technological base, and thus improve their national and international market opportunities. Mechanical engineering counts among Saxony-Anhalt’s top export business sectors.
