Industry dialog and joint positioning
The Entrepreneurs' Day, which took place at PPG Woerwag Coatings, offered participants the opportunity to network and discuss current economic challenges. In addition to economic topics, the importance of research and development for the innovative strength of the coatings and printing ink industry was also emphasized. Close cooperation with the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI) remains of central importance for the VdL district group in order to effectively represent the interests of the industry in Baden-Württemberg and beyond.
