Luxembourg: An advanced manufacturing hub

Once a world-leading steel producer, Luxembourg’s rich industrial heritage remains vibrant today. The country hosts a dynamic manufacturing ecosystem that includes both global giants and small and medium-sized companies focusing on high added-value, highly automated and R&D-intensive activities. 

Internationally renowned groups such as ArcelorMittal, Goodyear, Husky Injection Molding Systems, Webasto, Fanuc, Avery Dennison and Lyten have a presence in Luxembourg, ranging from global or European headquarters to R&D and innovation centres and key production lines. Their continuous investment in the country testifies to the appeal of Luxembourg’s favourable business climate and its central European location.
