VDMA - Next record year for the German plastics and rubber machinery manufacturers

摘要

THE German plastics and rubber machinery manufacturers rush from one record to the next. They could increase their sales by another five per cent in 2017. "The past year has been in line with the positive development since 2010," Ulrich Reifenhauser, Chairman of the VDMA Plastics and Rubber Machinery Association, is pleased. "I am all the happier that we could surpass the original optimistic forecast of four per cent with this increase," he adds. Since the economic crisis, which had also affected the plastics and rubber machinery manufacturers, this has been the eighth year of growth in a row. The current boom has been lasting unusually long.
