Beauty and high quality
Smoking chimneys are no longer the hallmark of a prosperous economy. But there is still a lot of energy released in Aachen. Aachen profits from its geographical position in Europe, as well as the students that have learnt to love the town. Many have planted their roots here and have flourished in high-tech companies (computer, engineering, electronics). Further, there are long established companies in the textile and glass industries.
Not forgetting the foodstuffs manufacturers and their products like chocolate, candy and the original 'Aachener Printen' that every day of the year are highly appreciated.
