The field of metal-processing is at the same time traditional and innovative. Knives from Solingen, tools from Remscheid and Wuppertal - the products originating from the region are a guarantee of quality. Almost every process involved in metalworking is represented here in a unique concentration. The small and medium-sized companies historically rooted in the region are characterised by a pronounced skill in innovation and above-average export competence. Here too there are close ties with the world of research. Co-operation with the "Bergische Universität" and the industrial research institutions is much sought-after. The networking of institutions and companies in the fields of further education and training, testing and research, marketing and recruitment, will be further intensified by the new "Metal-processing Forum" in Remscheid, with its showcase of the economy.
