    Der VDMA vertritt mehr als 3600 meist mittelständische Mitgliedsunternehmen der Investitionsgüterindustrie und ist damit einer der mitgliedsstärksten und bedeutensten Verbände Europas. Der Maschinen- und Anlagenbau ist eine Schlüsseltechnologie und der Motor der Wirtschaft. Die Unternehmen der Branche beschäftigen insgesamt rund 3 Millionen Menschen in der EU-27, davon mehr als 1,2 Millionen allein in Deutschland. Damit ist der Maschinen- und Anlagenbau unter den Investitionsgüterindustrien der größte Arbeitgeber, sowohl in der EU-27 als auch in Deutschland. Er steht in der Europäischen Union für ein Umsatzvolumen von geschätzt rund 860 Milliarden Euro. Rund 80 Prozent der in der EU verkauften Maschinen stammen aus einer Fertigungsstätte im Binnenmarkt. Der VDMA beschäftigt weltweit ca. 500 Mitarbeiter. Der Hauptsitz des Verbandes ist Frankfurt. Darüberhinaus unterhält der VDMA Büros in einigen Bundesländern sowie mehrere Auslandsbüros, darunter das European Office in Brüssel.

    Complementary Information

    Die Maschinenbau ist als exportorientierte und sehr heterogene Branche von sehr vielen EU-Gesetzgebungsvorhaben unmittelbar betroffen. Der VDMA und seine Mitarbeiter analysieren die Auswirkungen auf die diversen Unternehmen und bringen die Sicht der Branche in den Entscheidungsprozess ein. Dazu kommt, dass gerade in der technischen EU-Binnenmarktsgesetzgebung eine Vielzahl von Normen entwickelt werden, die die Gesetzgebung konkretisieren. Die Mitarbeiter des VDMA tragen zu der Erstellung dieser Normen aktiv bei. Daher ergibt sich für den VDMA eine relativ hohe Zahl von Personen, die mit einer Teilkapazität an EU-Vorhaben arbeiten.

    Other financial info

    Aufgrund der Exportorientierung und internationalen Aktivitäten der Branche sind der VDMA und seine Mitglieder von sehr vielen Politik- und Gesetzgebungsvorhaben der EU unmittelbar betroffen. Dadurch arbeiten zahlreiche VDMA-Kolleginnen und Kollegen an der Anlayse von Vorschlägen, deren Auswirkungen auf die Industrie und koordinieren die Meinungsbildung des Verbands zu den Vorschlägen. Darüber hinaus sind auch zahlreiche VDMA Kolleginnen und Kollegen in die Normungsarbeit auf europäischer Ebene eingebunden. Dies führt dazu, dass der VDMA ein verhältnismässig hohen Betrag für die für das Register relevanten Tätigkeiten aufwendet.

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
