Description of the business location

Idealer Firmenstandort Merzig

Der Wirtschaftsstandort Merzig, optimal gelegen im Dreiländereck Luxemburg, Frankreich, Saarland-Rheinland-Pfalz, hat in den letzten Jahren eine gute Entwicklung genommen. Dies zeigt sich auch in der Investitionsbereitschaft vieler Merziger Unternehmen. So hat zum Beispiel das weltweit operierende Unternehmen Villeroy & Boch in der Vergangenheit ĂĽber 100 Millionen Euro in die Betriebsstandorte in Merzig investiert und beschäftigt hier ca 900 Arbeitskräfte. Der Fliesenbereich, einst eher ein Sorgenkind des Konzerns, hat sich nach dem Engagement des tĂĽrkischen Fliesenkonzerns Eczacibasi aus Istanbul zum Vorzeigebereich entwickelt; zeitweise ĂĽbersteigt die Nachfrage sogar die derzeit vorhandenen Produktionskapazitäten. Das Erfolgsunternehmen kohlpharma, in Merzig angesiedelt seit 1996, ist nach wie vor einer der größten Arbeitgeber in der Stadt und beschäftigt ebenfalls knapp 800 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Viele weitere groĂźe und mittelständische Unternehmen, teilweise mit weltweiten Vertriebsschienen, fĂĽhlen sich in Merzig zu Hause, wie z.B. die Firmen Zentgraf, Holzhauer und Feinmechanik GrĂĽn und viele andere.
