The world’s leading Japanese machine tool manufacturer – DMG MORI – is in the process of setting up its new European headquarters in Munich. DMG MORI’s new European headquarters will initially be located, on a temporary basis, in “Parkstadt Schwabing”, and is due to expand its new premises near the city’s Olympic Park in the “Go Four It” business quarter, with a floor area spanning 10,000 m² by the year 2026. A spectacular showroom complete with a technology centre for customers, partners and up-and-coming talent is to be created there. By taking this step, DMG MORI is reaffirming its commitment to Bavaria as a business location. Roughly a third of the Group’s 13,000 employees worldwide work in Germany.

Watch the video interview with Ms Irene Bader, Member of the Board DMG MORI Company Limited and Ms Susanne Schierok, Representative of the Free State of Bavaria in Japan, to see what further plans DMG MORI is pursuing at the new location in Bavaria.

In July 2024, an exclusive Bavarian-Chinese business dialogue took place in Munich for the second time. Hubert Aiwanger – Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy – met with 25 CEOs from Chinese companies based in Bavaria, at the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. The CEOs offered key insight into current developments, challenges and their plans for the future of their companies in Bavaria. We asked Minister of State Aiwanger and some CEOs about their thoughts on the Business Dialogue.

The event provided great networking opportunities, bringing together public authorities, high-tech startups, innovative corporates, and investment representatives.

The COO of the Proteintech Group (USA) - Mr Jeff Lee - explains in the video statement why the US company decided to expand in Munich, what plans are being pursued at the new company location and why Bavaria also offers ideal conditions for the perfect work-life balance.
