Saxony is considered to be the cradle of German machine construction. For about 200 years now, such globally coveted mechanical engineering products as, for example, textile, tool, and printing machines have been coming from Saxony. Today, Saxony is still a top location for such globally active enterprises as, for example, Siemens, NILES-SIMMONS, Starrag, and Koenig & Bauer.

With about 45,000 employees in approx. 1,000 firms, the branch contributes more than 13 percent to the industrial turnover and approx. 15 percent to Saxony’s foreign sales.

    "Mechanical Engineering in Saxony"

    Saxony can justifiably call itself the cradle of German mechanical engineering. For about 200 years now, machine tools as well as textile and printing machines made in the region have been in great demand around the globe.

We support Saxony.

Prof.  Dr. Hans J. Naumann

Managing Partner, NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT Group

„We selected Chemnitz as our corporate headquarters and, thus, also the headquarters of the NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT holding company because we wanted to send a clear signal that the NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT Group has its decision-making center in Saxony."
