Huge tools make possible in a few days or hours what used to take hundreds of workers weeks or months.

They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. With courage and sure instinct, they control machines weighing tons with millimetre precision. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such megaaggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is worldfamous. Men & Machines shows why. Get a glimpse into the production halls of these machines and see engineering at its best.
