Characteristic of the Industrial Zone

Triangle strategic industrial zone is situated at the border of three districts: Chomutov, Most and Louny. From traffic point of view the zone is very well accessible since it is situated at Žatec ex-military airport. The site adjoins expressway R7 Prague - Chomutov - Hora Sv. Šebestiána/Reitzenhain (FRG); another arterial road I/27 Most - Žatec - Plzeň is about 1 km from the site. The Triangle industrial zone is mainly intended for investors whose business and investment plans are focused on manufacturing industry (except first-stage processing of raw materials), strategic services, technological centres and/or those operating in the field of research and development. With consent granted by the owner of the zone, the Ústí Region, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Triangle zone can also host businesses from the field of logistics, facility management, waste management, filling stations and/or other support companies servicing businesses already based in the zone (so called „manufacture servicing”). The Triangle zone's priority is to accommodate large, space-demanding investment projects, the size of which would be about 20 - 25 ha each.

On the territory of the Triangle strategic industrial zone, land plots of various dimensions are prepared for sale. There are not any barriers (physical or administrative) on these land plots that would prevent the immediate commencement of preparation for construction of new industrial facilities. The final report on groundwater remediation (abbreviated version) in the industrial zone is available through the Industry and Enterprise Support Department of the Ústí Region. All connection points to the already existing full-capacity utilities networks are located within a maximum distance of 20 metres from the boundary of the land plots intended for sale. In the case of standard construction of ordinary manufacturing facilities whose production will not potentially threaten the environment, it is realistic to prepare and realize construction of such facilities within the course of 12 months. However, there is the necessity of close cooperation of the investor and the investor's design and engineering companies, which will ensure the preparation of the construction, with all state administrative bodies that will issue individual partial land and construction rulings.
