TOPERINI INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS BUSINESS PARK Vác TOPERINI Industrial Logistics Business Park, established as a green field investment, is situated in the middle region of Hungary, in the city of Vác, 2 km of the historical city centre. Thanks to its location the industrial park provides several advantages for the companies operating here: easy and rapid accessibility, and at the same time a suitably closed area to feel secure. With its competitive offers and services Toperini Industrial Park is endeavouring to encourage the economic development of the region, to provide favourable conditions for companies intending to settle down resp. to invest in Vác. 1. The city of Vác 1.1. Geographical characteristics The city of Vác ( www.vac.hu ) is situated on the left riverside of the Danube, 30 km north of the centre of Budapest. In the thousand years old history of the city first the ecclesiastical (episcopate), then the transport (shipping, railway), while recently (as of 1920) the industrial and cultural characteristics have dominated.
2 The motorway No. 2 runs across the city, starting from Budapest towards Zvolen, Banska Bistrica, resp. Nitra in Slovakia. The highway M2, being part of the European transport corridor 5/C (the Baltic Sea the Adriatic Sea), connects Vác with the highway network of Hungary and Europe. The railway line running across the city is a very busy one. In Hungary the first railway line was opened up between Budapest and Vác, in 1846; nowadays the city of Vác is one of the important railway junctions in the main line Budapest - Szob - Bratislava. 1.2. Labour force Vác has a population of appr. 34 thousand. As a consequence of the economic crisis taken place in the recent years the development following the change of regime has come to a sudden stop and the unemployment has started to increase again. In lack of suitable working places/possibilities part of the unemployed persons are compelled to enter employment in Budapest, while, at the same time, there is a large number of employees working in the city, but living in the surrounding settlements, where, especially in Nógrád county, the rate of unemployment is very high over the national average. An increasing number of Budapest resident employees hold down the jobs requiring higher or any special qualification. Vác is a regional educational centre; in the city there are several grammar schools providing technical and economic education. Beyond the above also the educational institutes of Budapest situated in 30 km provide secondary and university (bachelor and master) degree in several special fields. Besides, the Budapest universities have great research and development potential available for the companies, at request. Thanks to the advanced and multifold educational system the local employees are able to comply with the labour force demand of most of the companies.
3 1.3. Business environment Due to its regional role Vác provides traditionally favourable opportunities for the businesses. Almost every national organization, administration department and also the major Hungarian banks have a branch in the city. The following large companies are operating in the region: - General Electric - Zollner Elektronika - IBM - ContiTech - Michelin - Infopress Group - Heidelberger Zement - Lasselsberger-Knauf - SAMSUNG Electronics Besides the above there are a large number of smaller companies/undertakings operating in the city and its nearer region of attraction, providing excellent background for the larger companies with their commercial, servicing and supplying activities. 2. The industrial park The Toperini Industrial Park established in the development of Toperini Hungária Ltd. is located in the city of Vác, beside the main road to Gödöllő, on a fenced, guarded area of 29 hectare.
