Bayer Pharma alone made sales of over 43 billion euros in 2019. German pharmaceutical companies play a major role in the development of new drugs.
Nowadays, nothing works without electrics. The production of the highest quality, most reliable electrical components with a world reputation puts this division in 5th place.
Just like electrical engineering, a wide variety of chemical compounds are used in almost all industrial products. Rank 4 for this versatile German export.
The 3rd place goes to data processing and optics. SAP and Carl Zeiss Jena are familiar to most people.
Low-maintenance and durable precision machines, that’s what every manufacturing entrepreneur wants. The trouble-free operation of a machine in the production process is priceless.
