“Made in Germany” Still Means Something — Even in a Challenging Market

The latest EMS market insights shared at the Evertiq Expo in Gothenburg paint a complex picture of European electronics manufacturing.While the industry shows resilience, it also reveals clear signs of pressure.

Across Europe, EMS revenues declined in early 2025.Even Germany — traditionally the backbone of Europe’s EMS output and responsible for nearly half of continental production — experienced a notable downturn before showing a modest recovery.

Challenging? Absolutely.

But numbers never tell the full story.

Despite the fluctuations, I believe firmly that “Made in Germany” still carries global weight. Not just as a label, but as a symbol of:

• Trust

• Precision

• Consistency

• A deep cultural pride in craftsmanship

For decades, German engineering has built its reputation on reliability and excellence. Those values do not disappear because of one challenging year.
