A firm foundation to build on

In the last few years, Bad Wörishofen has developed into a dynamic investment location. The town offers businesses the opportunity to take advantage of the outstanding conditions for investment that it has created. These include its geographical location and excellent transport connections, the extensive range of fully developed, affordable industrial real estate on offer and the unbureaucratic support provided by the town administration. The town has a direct road link to the A96 motorway, connecting it to the important economic regions of Augsburg and Munich, as well as to many destinations in Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

Furthermore, with a business tax collection rate of 290% the town can offer extremely favourable conditions. During its first meeting of the year in January 2008, the town council resolved to gradually lower the business tax collection rate in 2009 from 330% to 290%; further reductions are planned from 2010 onwards. The goal of this measure is to make more financial resources available to all of the businesses located in the town, as the corporate tax reform that came into effect on 01.01.08 now means that different businesses are charged different tax rates. This measure gives them additional financial leeway and new perspectives for investments. At the same time, the town is able to create incentives for other businesses wishing to set up there.

With its 1,500 businesses and organisations, Bad Wörishofen is a lucrative location for companies of all sizes. The town contains congress centres, first-class hotels, excellent restaurants and modern shops. Local businesses come from a wide variety of different sectors, such as printing and publishing, high technology, healthcare, nutrition and cosmetics, confectionary production, shoe manufacture, window construction, environmental technology, construction materials and building.
