The craft trades are of great importance for the region’s economic power. 49,000 skilled tradesmen work in the 4,500 craft trade firms in Nuremberg.
This means more than one sixth of the labor force in Nuremberg is employed in the craft trades. The metal industry plays a key role here, which is strongly developed due to its close integration with the industrial branches of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. As suppliers of fast, individual and reliable solutions, the craft trade firms are essential partners for companies and consumers.
