The strength of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as an economic region is based on strong networking between the worlds of business, science and politics, genuine space for new ideas and quick decisions at the official level. With several attractive economic sectors, MV offers ideal future prospects to both skilled workers and business leaders.
Complexity at its best
When conventional manufacturing processes reach their limits, Ostseestaal GmbH & Co. KG of Stralsund steps in. The company is a technological leader in 3D cold forming, and makes the dreams of architects, engineers and shipbuilders come true. Huge construction packages for the world’s largest ships, complex moulds for aerospace as well as smart solutions for the wind energy sector are manufactured here on an individual basis.
A legendary deep sea performance
An international success story 6,000 metres below sea level: the Rostock branch of the Canada-based Kraken Robotics Group develops and builds battery storage systems, electric motors and drives for deep- sea robots which also work smoothly at huge depths. Innovative pressure-neutral technology offers a cost-saving alternative to conventional pressure-resistant housings.
Best performance for mobility
The Webasto Group is a global systems partner to almost every car manufacturer, and is one of the 100 largest suppliers in the industry. As part of the corporate group, Webasto Neubrandenburg GmbH has been manufacturing vehicle heating systems since 1990. Innovative roof and heating systems for every type of vehicle and all drive types as well as high-performance battery systems and charging solutions are part of the globally sought-after product range offered by the Webasto Group.
Perfection made of wood
An industrial estate in the Hanseatic city of Wismar is both a leading centre for the European timber industry and a timber cluster. With 1,000 employees, EGGER Holzwerkstoffe Wismar GmbH & Co. KG is the biggest company on-site. Each year, the company processes approximately 2 million cubic metres of wood into laminate flooring, and its OSB boards are exported all over the world.
The power of giants
Manufactured in the international port of Rostock, used worldwide – the cranes from Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH. Particularly impressive: the Liebherr TCC 78000 crane. With a total height of 164 metres, it is the largest land-based crane in Germany. It is also one of the world’s most powerful rail-mounted heavy-duty gantry cranes.
Golden titans
Huge ladles glide through the air, their bellies full of glowing metal. Then a splashing sound, disturbed by the occasional thump when metal at up to 1,200 degrees Celsius falls to the floor. Cast here: gigantic ship propellers which weigh up to 160 tonnes, some of which have diameters of over 11 metres. The company Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH (MMG) in Waren (Müritz) manufactures highly efficient propellers which power ships all over the world.
