Federal Election 2025

Demands for a strong mechanical and plant engineering sector. #StandortUpgrade!

Einleitung Bundestagswahl 2025


At a time of profound global changes and challenges, it is our goal to shape the framework conditions for mechanical and plant engineering in such a way that our companies remain successful and competitive in the future. The upcoming federal election offers a decisive opportunity to set the course for a future-oriented industrial policy. For the future, we need a #StandortUpgrade!

Our demands and positions are focused on strengthening competitiveness, promoting innovation, addressing the skilled labor shortage, and ensuring sustainable growth. We are committed to a modern and efficient infrastructure, technology-friendly legislation, and a competitive market economy. At the same time, we advocate for the consistent implementation of climate targets and a sustainable environmental policy that meets the needs of industry.


On this page, we present our key demands and positions on the most important issues. These are intended to serve as a foundation for constructive cooperation with the future government to secure the future of mechanical and plant engineering in Germany and Europe.
