The general association of employers' associations in the metal and electrical industry e. V., short form: Gesamtmetall, is the merger of the state employers' associations of the German metal and electrical industry (M + E). The association is based in Berlin .

Role and function

The umbrella organization represents the common and overarching interests of the M + E companies at the federal level. Gesamtmetall is a member of the Federal Association of German Employers' Associations (BDA) in Berlin. The tasks of an employers' association are primarily in the fields of collective bargaining , social and educational policy . Particular focus areas of the nationwide industry umbrella association Gesamtmetall are the conception and coordination of joint activities of the associations that make up it as well as maintaining contacts with political institutions and the media at the federal level. As an umbrella organization, Gesamtmetall usually does not itself conclude any collective agreements with the unions. This is the task of the sixteen regional employers' associations of the metal and electrical industry, some of which have come together to form negotiating communities for this purpose. The member companies are organized in the regional employers' associations.

In cooperation with the regional employers' associations, the association designs, plans and coordinates the measures at federal level and ensures that the metal and electrical industry speaks with one voice when it comes to important common interests of the companies. In many cases, this requires the difficult balance between the interests of twelve very different M + E sectors as well as between large and medium-sized M + E companies.

The association has 13 collective bargaining associations and 8 non-collective bargaining associations.

The highest representative is the president elected by the entire board of the association. The current business is conducted by the general manager.
