Koblenz is an industrial centre in the northern part of the Rhineland-Palatinate; an ideal centre of production for global players. Environmentally friendly industry and a wide spectrum of suppliers and service provider operations make an ideal site of mutual benefit. The city lives and works with a ideally developed combination of small and medium-sized businesses and corporate organisations in conjunction with a widely varied and highly qualified workforce potential within the region.

 

 

The economic strength of the city is in its secondary sector resulting, above all, from the variety of services and crafts as well as a healthy mixture of small, medium-sized businesses right up to large international corporations. This favourable configuration is most certainly a reason why the region is less susceptible to structural crises, and that the unemployment rate has been constantly lower than the national average.

 

Apart from the local economy being made up of primarily small and medium-sized companies, many large world-renown large corporations have settled their operations in Koblenz and the products of which can boast of large international market share. Whether such products are brandnamed paper tissues for industry or private use ( Fa. Kimberly-Clark), innovative braking systems (Fa. TRW) and gas-springs (Fa. Stabilus) or even high-tech components for the aircraft industry (Fa. Corus),  – they are all designed, developed and manufactured in Koblenz.

Koblenz companies and businesses located in the industrial estate near the Koblenz harbour employ state-of-the-art technology that enhances their chances for gaining market share not only within the EU Single Market, but worldwide as well.

 

In addition to the larger corporations, more than 100 small and medium-sized industrial companies contribute to the economic strength of greater Koblenz. This is one more proof not only of a mature structure but also it evidences the attractiveness of the surrounding area in which individual firms and businesses complement one another, work closely together and profit from such linked collaboration.

Whichever company is seeking to be near other strong, viable and efficient companies, Koblenz is just the address for them: a dynamic economy and a fertile location for investment and innovation.

 

Furthermore, the freight handling facilities in Koblenz and the harbour adjacent the industrial estate are ideal prerequisites for a smooth and flexible transport of goods and products.
