English to German translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Geography | | English term or phrase: footloose industry | | According to my pupil, a 'footloose industry' (term she learned in geography lesson) is an industry that isn't necessarily based where its resources come from. Die Kohleindustrie im Ruhrgebiet is, for instance, not a footloose industry. My suggestion was 'ortsunabhängige Industrie', but I was wondering whether anyone could come up with a better term? Thanks. |

Def.: footloose industry [definition]
A mobile enterprise, usually light industry, which, by the nature of the raw materials used and its labour, market and transportation needs, is not tied to a particular location (Audrey N. Clark The Penguin Dictionary of GeographyPenguin Books, London 1998)

Zusatz zu \"industry\": Industriezweige - gefällt mir noch besser
Der Gegensatz: Schließlich sind standortgebundene Industriezweige wie beispielsweise der Steine- und Erdenbereich landes- und regionalweit stärker verhaftet als andere Industriezweige.
