Inadequate Location:
Choosing the wrong location can have significant consequences for your facility’s success. It may result in increased transportation costs, longer supply chains, limited access to qualified labour, and difficulties in reaching your target market. In Romania, factors such as proximity to major highways, ports, or airports, availability of utilities, and compatibility with local zoning regulations should be carefully considered.
How can we help?
ZIOS Industrial Park is strategically located, being only 6 kilometres away from the A1 highway, which is the main highway in Romania connecting the west of Romania, Arad to the east of the country all the way to Bucharest.

The highway works will be finished soon, further enhancing accessibility.
In addition to the highway, ZIOS Industrial Park benefits from the ongoing updates and enlargement of the county road 106B by the county of Sibiu.

Lack of Due Diligence:
Insufficient due diligence can be a costly mistake when purchasing real estate for a production or storage facility. It can result in unexpected issues after the purchase, such as undisclosed liens or encumbrances, unresolved legal disputes, or non-compliance with local regulations. Conducting thorough due diligence is crucial to verify property ownership, assess any potential legal or environmental concerns, review permits and licenses, and ensure compliance with applicable regulations. In Romania, this includes verifying the property’s legal status, investigating any outstanding liabilities or disputes, and ensuring compliance with local building and environmental regulations.

Ignoring Infrastructure:
Neglecting to evaluate the condition of utilities and access roads can lead to operational disruptions and increased costs. Inadequate or unreliable access to utilities, such as water, electricity, or sewage systems, can impact production processes and affect the overall functionality of your facility. Similarly, poor access structure can result in delays, increased transportation costs, and difficulties in receiving and distributing goods.

Overlooking Future Expansion Potential:
Neglecting to consider future expansion possibilities can limit the growth potential of your facility and require costly relocations or renovations down the line.
