BayWa boss on the biggest construction crisis in 50 years: “Politicians are largely responsible”. “We have not experienced such a crisis in terms of both dynamism and depth in the last 50 years” “This crisis is also the first construction crisis that will lead to changes in the structures of the industry.

The last crises have all reactivated the industry as it was before,” says BayWa boss Steffen Mechter. ‘We have hardly increased our productivity at all in recent years,’ he says.
