VDMA predicts 4% growth for German machinery

摘要

Members of VDMA industry association think Germany's plastics and rubber machinery should grow 4% in 2015, after a relatively flat 2014. VDMA said the machinery business bumped up 1% in 2014 from 2013 levels, but turnover in core machinery manufacturing remained unchanged at ?6.8bn. That year-end performance is largely in line with VDMA's forecast last autumn, according to Ulrich Reifenhauser, chairman of VDMA.
