Märkisches Werk performs many parts of the production process itself.
Nevertheless, the crisis in 2009 has prompted a change of course. To be able to offer customers a better
proposition, Märkisches Werk has started focussing on cylinder-head systems and is
slowly transforming itself from a supplier of components to a system supplier. In this way,
engine builders will have to deal with fewer suppliers and can do business with a single
specialist. This will create new possibilities for Dutch manufacturers of components to
secure a role as supplier to Märkisches Werk.
For Märkisches Werk, positive aspects of Dutch companies are their know-how and their willingness to provide input in the
process of product development, an aspect in which German companies are by nature
more conservative.
