The Business Development WG Economy Committee met on October 1 - 2, 2024 on the Zugspitze in Garmisch-Partenkirchen under the direction of Mr. Borkenhagen. The members of the VDMA did not miss this opportunity and attended the meeting of the Business Development Committee in large numbers. The Swiss association VSA also accepted the VDMA's invitation and was represented by Silvia Glaus-Zinder, Managing Director VSA and Rene Hermann, Schindler. The conference room was located on the Zugspitzplatt at an altitude of 2600 meters. In addition to topics such as economic data on the German and Swiss elevator market and the “Beweger gesucht” campaign, safety trends and developments in the German and Swiss elevator market were on the agenda of the conference.
Lunch was held at the mountain station on the Zugspitz summit, followed by a technical tour of the cable and rack railroad. During this technical tour, the participants of the associations were informed about the background, technology, operation and maintenance of the cable car as well as the complex construction of the mountain station.
If you would like to take part in these exciting topics, you are cordially invited to attend our next meeting at the beginning of March 2025. The date will be announced in good time.
