Industry with
precision and power
Saxony is one of Germany’s most traditional mechanical engineering and textile regions – and also a leading location for modern production technology. For over 200 years, innovative machines, systems and textile solutions that are in demand worldwide have been produced here.
Around 1,000 mechanical engineering companies with around 45,000 employees make the sector one of the most important branches of industry in the state. Saxony is particularly strong in special machine construction and machine tool construction as well as in automation and process engineering. A close network between industry and research ensures that new developments are quickly put into practice – especially in the field of digital production processes.
The textile industry has also developed successfully: today, Saxony is one of the leading locations for technical textiles in Germany. Modern materials from the Free State are used in medicine, vehicle construction and aviation, for example. Almost the entire textile value chain is represented – from fibre to finished high-tech product.
