OCS is your trustworthy partner for all Irish transport
Within a generation, Ireland has evolved from a highly domestic and British market-focused economy to a very open economy with high-value exports. That is why the 4.8 million inhabitants were able to more than quadruple exports between 1997 and 2017. Exports of goods exceeded imports by 44.3 billion euros in 2017. The export surplus corresponded to over 9,200 euros per inhabitant and was therefore three times as high as in Germany. That is why the need for transport to Ireland is growing
Ireland can do more than just beer and whiskey. The beef enjoys a first-class reputation worldwide. Medical technology is an important pillar. In no other European country is the industry as present as in Ireland. The list of medical technology companies is the “Who’s Who” of the industry. Multinational corporations from all over the world value the attractive production location .
Therefore, the most important export products, in addition to pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, electronics, food and measurement and control technology, are medical devices. Germany is the third largest trading partner after the USA and Great Britain. When it comes to imports, Germany is in fourth place. The main imports from Germany are motor vehicles, chemical products, electronics and machinery.
Britain's exit from the EU and possible US import difficulties pose major risks for Ireland, as both regions account for 43% of Irish foreign trade. On the other hand, it also offers great opportunities to restructure the flow of goods. German-Irish economic relations have a long tradition. More than 300 German companies have set up shop in Ireland and employ over 20,000 people. Ireland transport is not only in such demand because there are many people in Europe
