The region's industrial history of more than a
thousand years which began with the establishment of the saltern in
the town of Lüneburg has in recent decades produced a broad
spectrum of industrial development. Until recently,
location-dependent industrial sectors played the dominant role in
this. Particulary companies in the food industry developed where
agriculture supplied them with raw materials from the vicinity.
This nowadays includes numerous dairy, meat and potato processing
plants as well as large sugar, baked goods and beverage
producers.
The region's most important sector by far, however,
is the automative industry with its many sub-supplier plants. But
more and more frequently, other industrial plants which are not
location-dependent have settled in the entire Lüneburg-Wolfsburg
commercial region, particularly in the fields of textile
manufacturing, mechanical engineering, chemical and paper as well
as paper-processing.
Numerous international companies from all sectors,
be they from the US, Japan, Scandinavia or Switzerland, France and
the Netherlands, have by now opted to locate in the region of
Lüneburg-Wolfsburg. And many other companies offering corporate
services close to production and developing new futuristic
technologies have established themselves in the region.
