Monthly and quarterly machine tool order-intake panel for Germany, collected from member manufacturers and aggregated by the association: inbound orders split domestic / foreign / eurozone / non-eurozone, plus production, exports by destination market, capacity utilisation, employment and output shares by customer industry (aerospace and defence, machinery, automotive and suppliers, electronics, medical technology) and by machine group. The public layer is headline press percentages; the licensable asset is the granular monthly series behind it — the association's statistics database (web and API access), which is member-fed and exists nowhere else. This is a leading indicator of industrial capex: orders precede production by two to three quarters, as the release shows (Q2 orders +12% while production was still -6%).
