Advanced manufacturing industry
As a European hub of business, research and innovation, Luxembourg offers an attractive location for advanced industrial companies and businesses developing smart manufacturing solutions.
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.
Launchpad for Europe and beyond
Luxembourg’s manufacturing sector is strongly export-oriented, with the largest part of its production reaching international markets. Manufacturing companies choose Luxembourg for a variety of reasons, including:
Strategic geographic location, home to a leading logistics hub |
High-performing digital and physical infrastructure |

Smart manufacturing opportunities
Several leading industrial players have chosen their Luxembourg sites to pilot their move towards industry 4.0 – the intelligent integration of machines and processes based on information and communication technologies. These companies benefit from the country’s advanced digital infrastructure, business-oriented supercomputer and R&D and innovation incentives.
The Luxembourg Digital Innovation Hub supports local companies in adopting industry 4.0 practices and connects them with specialised service providers. This creates new business opportunities for companies offering solutions in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, industrial 3D printing and virtual simulations.
