1. Zgierz - crossroads of Europe

The Commune City of Zgierz  decided to set up Boruta Zgierz Industrial Park for the purpose of economic development in Zgierz. The Park is situated on the area of the former „ Boruta” Dye Industry Plant. This is one of the best industrial areas in Poland located 3 km of the A-2 motorway (currently being constructed) and roughly 15 km from the crossroads of the A-2 and the A-1 motorways. Furthermore, the Park is located near the planned western by-pass of Łódź - the S-14 express road. Investors also have at their disposal side-tracks, which substantially facilitate local, national and international connections.
