against political disruptions

Around the globe, more and more regions are striving to strengthen their local economies and are heading for geopolitical isolation – measures range from punitive tariffs to climate legislation and sanctions. At the same time, the Americas, Europe, and Asia remain intertwined through common markets, investments, and supply chains. This dynamic poses challenges for manufacturing companies and their location strategy.

Companies are tasked with optimally adapting their global production networks to the changing market situation to minimize the risks of protectionist measures and trade wars for their business models. Key areas of action to strengthen their strategic positioning in the global market include location planning, resilient supply chains, localized market cultivation, and investments in key technologies such as automation and robotics.
