Dynamic Economy

In centuries gone by the industry of the area was dominated by craftsmen, above all, by brewers and gilders, and some of the first manufacturing industries such as needle-making and wire-drawing. Nowadays the town’s industry is characterised by a broad range of mostly medium-sized enterprises that have established themselves here specializing in production, craftsmanship or service activities. A lot of these highly flexible businesses cater for niche markets and in many cases have become the leading experts in the German market. Schwabach can claim to have a healthy economic and business structure and to offer secure employment prospects.
