With its longstanding tradition in the fields of metal working and machining as well as mechanical engineering, East Wuerttemberg has developed into a region of industry, business and economy with a high level of automotive competence, not least because of its proximity to the world-famous automotive region of Stuttgart. In this respect, East Wuerttemberg as an economic region remains true to its motto »Region of talents and patents«. Its ranking as the eighth strongest of the 97 German regions in the field of mobility patent registrations proves how strong the powers of innovation and the technological efficiency of its companies are. Networking between the industries and cooperation with universities, transfer and research institutes enhances these strengths. In addition to its outstanding transportation infrastructure and its central location in the »Technology Triangle« of Stuttgart – Ulm – Nuremberg, the region offers attractive framework conditions for setting up new businesses, relocating operations or expanding companies.

The automotive industry is still considered one of the most important growth markets. Increasingly shorter product life cycles, the concentration in particular of the OEM sector on core competences and the growing complexity of automobiles offer automotive suppliers significant growth potential – on the condition that they succeed in meeting the challenges of today’s changing economic structures, for instance, by means of cooperative alliances and networking. The East Wuerttemberg region is well prepared to meet these challenges! This region is investing in growth: 500 hectares of commercial sites ready for immediate development at 90 locations offer good development opportunities to companies in the automotive sector. WiRO/Automotive/2006/e* 27.04.2006 14:28 Uhr Seite 7 A close-knit network of suppliers for automobile manufacturers Automotive region East Wuerttemberg Me The region of East Wuerttemberg has an efficient network of companies and institutes and also university and research foundations tailored to the needs of the automotive industry. Well over two hundred companies employing more than 30.000 people either directly or indirectly supply the manufacturers of cars, trucks, utility vehicles and special vehicles. They represent the industries that are of major relevance to the automotive sector and benefit from their proximity to leading suppliers of all tier levels, not to mention twelve of the largest OEM companies within a radius of only 300 km – a decisive argument in favour of choosing East Wuerttemberg as a location. t Mechanical engineering Tool manufacturing Electrical Precision Optics e m WiRO/Automotive/2006/e* 27.04.2006 14:28 Uhr Seite 8 Automotive region East Wuerttemberg 04 | 05 Supplier industries Me tal working Plastics processing Engineering Technical services Cars, trucks, utility vehicles, special vehicles l n engineering mechanics Automobile manufacturing Textile industry Chemical industry The illustration shows the many different fields of the automotive industry in East Wuerttemberg which form a tightly woven network of suppliers for the manufacturers of cars, trucks, utility and special vehicles.
