Świętokrzyskie voivodeship is situated in the south-eastern part of Poland and neighbours the country’s biggest urban agglomerations: Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice, Lublin and Łódź. The region’s natural resources provide the raw materials for its cement and gypsum industries, and the products of the Świętokrzyskie region’s gypsum and cement plants are well-known on both Polish and foreign markets. Poland’s biggest building firms are based in the region. The region’s pride and joy is the Kielce Trade Fair – the country’s second biggest trade-fair facility, situated at the cross-roads of major national and international routes. It is one of Poland’s ecologically cleanest regions.
