From the fjord to the world

Hidden champions

Our region has good access to the rest of the world, and not just because of its connection to the world's oceans through the port of Flensburg. Some of the companies based here have long since reached the international market beyond Germany's borders.

Of course, most people are aware that companies all over the world are dependent on suppliers of all kinds. However, it is just as true that these are not only raw materials but also very specific custom-made products, without which, for example, not a single bread roll could roll off the production line in a large bakery. Even if it is not so obvious to many consumers.
