This year, the German construction and building materials machine industry will have increased its turnover by more than 12% to € 9.7 billion. This is caused by a flourishing export trade. By the end of the year, exports will have increased by 17% to nearly € 7.2 billion. As Dr. Christof Kemmann, chairman of the Trade Association for Construction and Building Materials Machines in VDMA, said at the press conference during the members' meeting of the Trade Association, the export quota will therefore be 74%. In the previous year, it was still at 71%.
