VDMA North is the information platform for 300 member companies in Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein and the short line to the VDMA's technical experts and its network.
Exchange of experience, industry information and representation of interests are the essential aspects of our work. We accompany our member companies as competent contact persons and also step in as problem solvers when necessary. Our goal is to support our members in their daily work. In addition, we work at the national level to identify, consolidate and enforce their interests.
The VDMA Regulatory Cockpit provides clear, practical fact sheets on the most important regulations for mechanical and plant engineering, offering an at-a-glance overview. You can find out which industries are affected, what the schedule looks like, where action is needed and what sanctions can be expected. It is a valuable guide for any company looking to prepare for new requirements at an early stage.
Having our own value-adding foreign companies allows us to be closer to our customers. However, structures and management processes from German companies cannot be transferred one-to-one. The Erfa with a special country focus provides information on key aspects.
At the invitation of Dr. Sandra Szech, we are meeting for the spring meeting of the VDMA North Board of Directors at Odego in Tempowerk. The evening before, we will be at the Hotel Wälderhaus for a presentation and discussion followed by dinner.
