Business in Nuremberg
A short drive from Nuremberg, Herzogenaurach is home to the headquarters of Adidas, Puma and Schaeffler, and Siemens Healthineers runs its medical-technology business from neighbouring Erlangen. In the city itself, Siemens drive-technology plants, MAN's engine works and the market-research firm GfK are large employers, and the Spielwarenmesse fair and Playmobil maker Geobra Brandstätter in nearby Zirndorf sustain a toy trade.
Also known as Nürnberg.
Where software helps: Medical-device and electronics makers in the Nuremberg-Erlangen corridor must keep device history records, UDI codes and supplier certificates audit-ready under the EU Medical Device Regulation, usually across several disconnected systems.
