The Machine Tool sector in figures.
Spain occupies the 5th position in Europe as regards the consumption of machine tools. AIMHE defends the interests of machine tool importers, which represent a turnover of around 500 million €uros.
The role played in the industry by the companies associated with AIMHE is of vital importance, insofar as they make a decisive contribution to the competitiveness of Spanish industrial companies, providing them with technology that is not manufactured in this country.
