The global manufacturing industry is facing an unprecedented green revolution, and the machine tool industry is at its epicenter. With the phased implementation of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and strict Eco-design directives, carbon emission thresholds for mechanical equipment have become mandatory. This isn't just a rule for the European market; Asia and the U.S. are also tightening their energy-saving requirements, forcing global machine tool manufacturers to completely restructure their products and processes. Companies that fail to comply with the new green standards may be excluded from international supply chains. A new green competition, which will determine corporate survival and future market position, has begun.

The German automotive industry has always been a core industry driving employment and economic growth, and maintaining global competitiveness.

The world attaches great importance to carbon reduction initiatives, and the EU promotes a policy of carbon emission tariffs which will affect the global business economy.
