From the fjord to the world

Hidden Champions

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

Of course, most people are aware that companies around 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 roll could roll off the production line in a large bakery. Even if it is not as obvious to many consumers.

Often, these "hidden champions" are not even known in their own region, although they are, on the one hand, innovation drivers of our economy and, on the other hand, an important pillar of the labor market.
