SAMSON Joins "Made for Germany" Initiative
Frankfurt am Main, 23 February 2026 – SAMSON AG has joined the cross-industry "Made for Germany" initiative.
Members belonging to the initiative include DAX-listed companies, multinational corporations, leading investors, family-owned businesses, SMEs and start-ups from the various industries, such as manufacturing, technology, finance, energy and transport. They have joined forces to boost competitiveness and future-proof the German economy.
The initiative's members have pledged to collectively invest a total of 800 billion euro in Germany between 2025 and 2028. This money will be used to fund innovations, research and infrastructure as well as to create new jobs. It reflects the members' strong commitment to Germany as a center of industry and commerce. Improving economic framework conditions will also strengthen SMEs and start-ups.
SAMSON is currently investing more than 450 million euro as part of its MainChange project to relocate its headquarters and factory to Offenbach am Main. The project demonstrates the company's long-term commitment to the German economy and industrial value creation in the region. At the same time, it is an investment in modern manufacturing structures, innovative technologies and future-proof jobs.
The initiative also issued an urgent appeal to European politicians. It calls for fast and substantial reforms to boost economic growth and strengthen the competitive edge within Europe. Demands for change include systematically reducing bureaucracy, strengthening capital markets as well as concluding and ratifying free trade agreements. Growth must become the top priority to safeguard European sovereignty and economic independence.
