Austria
From the point of view of Austrian companies, Saxony-Anhalt is fantastically connected in all logistical directions: This is where significant European federal motorways and waterways cross. In addition, Saxony-Anhalt is a main hub for Austrian companies for goods that are being exported towards Eastern Europe, into the West-German metropolitan areas or to Scandinavia. Austrian investors not only benefit from logistical advantages. The central location in the overall German and European region, low land prices and opportunities to acquire subsidies for investments are all arguments, which make Saxony-Anhalt interesting for Austrian companies.
Austrian investments successful in Sachsen-Anhalt
More than 50 Austrian companies operate a site in Saxony-Anhalt or are involved in a company. Recently, Gunz Warenhandels GmbH has decided to settle in Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt.
About a third of goods, which Austria exported in 2009, came to Germany. The proportion of German products in Austria’s imported goods was even at about 41 percent. An advantage for Austrian companies is the proximity of language and culture.
