\u201cAny international company focused on the supply of precision metal components will position itself to secure business from the powerhouse of European industry, as we have done with intelligent marketing and education campaigns that have demonstrated the applicability of this metal fabrication technology,\u201d says Mick Taylor, Commercial Director at Precision Micro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Manufacturing and engineering has been the backbone of the German economy for many decades, today accounting for more than 21% of its economic output.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, it is no surprise that German companies are at the forefront of the drive towards ever more exacting precision component design, producing innovative products in almost every high-tech engineering sector.<\/p>\n

A key driver for OEMs throughout industry is the manufacture of smaller and more precise components.<\/p>\n

For example, in the automotive sector \u2014 where Germany is regarded as the most competitive and innovative in the world \u2014 engineers are tasked with producing lighter weight, ultra-high performance components to reduce CO2 and meet emission targets.<\/p>\n

In the medical sector \u2014 where Germany is the third largest device manufacturer in the world \u2014\u00a0 the challenge is to produce components often from extreme environment metals that can operate in a tiny footprint without any loss of functionality.<\/p>\n

Photo etching, a metal machining technology using subtractive chemical erosion, is ideally placed to meet the demand for smaller, lighter weight, precision components.
