Slow recovery of German chemical industry

Germany’s “Economic Weekly” (website:) reported on March 4: Utz Tillmann, Director-General of the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), stated in Frankfurt on Thursday that the German chemical industry suffered from a deep recession and slow recovery, and the European and domestic markets were in a weak state. Demand is stronger in Asia and South America.
VCI expects that compared with the year of the 2009 crisis, the turnover of the industry (this year) will increase by 6% due to the impact of price increase. The development trend of export business will be better than domestic, and production volume will increase by 5%. However, the equipment utilization rate was only 78%, and the crisis reached 85% before the outbreak. Tillmann explained: "Business operations are still in crisis mode."
In the fourth quarter of 2009, production volume increased by 5.3% from the previous quarter, and turnover rose 4.2% to 36.5 billion euros. VCI estimates that production in 2009 decreased by 10.1% year-on-year, turnover decreased by 13.5% (152.7 billion euros), and employment dropped by 1.5% (435,000). As companies have better control over costs and increased investment in R&D, the German chemical industry is still in good shape.
The chemical industry is the fourth pillar industry in Germany. Germany's 1,650 chemical companies are VCI member companies, and the VCI representation is over 90%.

The heated sheet then indexes into a form station where a mating mold and pressure-box close on the sheet, with vacuum then applied to remove trapped air and to pull the material into or onto the mold along with pressurized air to form the plastic to the detailed shape of the mold.
