From the steam powered mills of 18th century Britain the cradle of the Industrial Revolution to today’s network of smart factories, the European Union has nurtured manufacturing know‑how for more than two centuries. Every member‑state cultivates its own niche: German automotive automation, Italy’s “Packaging Valley,” Dutch high‑tech mechatronics, Scandinavian green plastics and more, stitched together by EU “smart‑specialisation” clusters. This dense ecosystem means component suppliers, toolmakers, test labs and logistics hubs are seldom more than a day’s drive apart, so scaling from pilot to mass production is faster and lower‑risk.

​

Transatlantic economics now favour that shift. Under Washington’s 2025 “reciprocal” tariffs, most EU goods land in the U.S. at a 20% duty, while equivalent Chinese shipments face up to 145%. Add shorter shipping lanes, robust IP enforcement, and EU ESG standards your customers already trust, and Europe suddenly becomes the sensible Plan A. ENGINO Industries our dedicated OEM division sits inside that ecosystem, pairing Cyprus‑based cost efficiency with the Union’s tradition of precision, craftsmanship and regulatory rigor.
