Industry and Economics
For your information and convenience, we have compiled an overview of the measures taken to support companies at state and federal level as well as the corresponding contact details and web addresses. We hope that this will support you in your work. If you have any questions or general queries or concerns in these difficult times, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In the mechanical engineering sector, the first delivery difficulties are appearing, triggered by travel restrictions in China or other heavily affected regions, which are restricting the presence of the workforce in the workplace. Good and rapid political measures to mitigate the economic consequences are now particularly important. Information on the short-time working allowance is provided by the Federal Employment Agency.

The right sign at the right time: The Grand Coalition has made good and fast-acting decisions to support medium-sized companies in their fight against the Corona crisis.
In 2019 as a whole, the mechanical engineering industry in Baden-Württemberg exported goods worth around 42.3 billion euros. This represents a decline of 2.3 percent compared to the previous year.
December brought a positive end to the year for the mechanical engineering industry in Baden-Württemberg. However, the outlook for the full year 2019 is sobering.
