Short survey
Concern about attack on Ukraine
When the INDUSTRIAL Production survey was conceived, there was still talk of the threat of war. In the meantime, war has become a sad reality in the middle of Europe. 286 readers have now taken part. However, the survey will continue over the weekend.
Many are affected
A clear result: 40% of the respondents' own company is directly affected, with 3.6% of them even facing a threat to their existence. For a further 33 percent, customers are affected. Only 25.5 percent see themselves as a company that is not affected.
The second question about sanctions shows that 70 percent want tough measures against Russia. However, 15 percent also have reservations. One reader writes: "What should Putin be afraid of from Germany, we are only harming ourselves with sanctions and slowly destroying our industry in the process."
