Political perspective on mechanical engineering conference: Anticipations of a business owner from Künzelsau towards government policies
In a recent statement, Joachim Ley, the CEO of Ziehl-Abegg, expressed his support for the 'Construction Turbo' initiative announced by the black-red federal government. This measure is aimed at preserving the industrial location in Germany, a crucial step in the current economic climate where job preservation is paramount, according to Ley.
The 'Construction Turbo' seeks to create spaces for innovation, a key reform the black-red government has proposed to help German companies remain competitive on a global scale. Ley emphasized the importance of favourable framework conditions for preserving the industrial location in Germany.
Ziehl-Abegg, a company with approximately 2,800 employees, generates 90 percent of its revenue outside of Germany. If the 'Construction Turbo' proves successful, it could lead to more construction activity in the long term, potentially resulting in job creation at Ziehl-Abegg in Germany.
Ley expects the black-red federal government to address issues such as energy costs, bureaucracy, and migration control, which he believes are crucial for the success of the 'Construction Turbo'. He also views the EU Building Directive as a "good idea".
Ziehl-Abegg can contribute to reducing energy consumption during building modernization, a factor that could be beneficial in the context of the 'Construction Turbo'. The company's ventilators and elevator motors are characterized by energy efficiency, making them ideal for such projects.
Half of Ziehl-Abegg's workforce is based in the Hohenlohe region in North-Württemberg, Germany. Ley believes that if products are in demand in Germany, his company will benefit and create jobs. The success of the 'Construction Turbo' could potentially lead to increased demand for Ziehl-Abegg's products, contributing to job creation in the region.
The 'Construction Turbo' is currently being debated in the Bundestag, with its potential impact on the German economy and industries under close scrutiny. As the discussion continues, the support of industry leaders like Joachim Ley adds weight to the argument for its implementation.
