At the heart of the European network,saving time is second nature.

Nine million consumers less thana half a day away... Paris, Barcelona,Stuttgart, Milan, Geneva, Marseillesand Lyon all less than a half a dayaway by road transport owing todirect access to the A7 motorway...

In the heart of the Rhône-Alpes,France’s second largest economicregion, Rhône Vallée has an abun-dance of geostrategic assets capableof attracting business managersconcerned about efficient opera-tions within the European and world markets.

With links to both the A7 andA49 motorways, it is located in thecenter of the Rhone Valley, the veri-table backbone of France’s north-south trade route. This impressivesite in the Ardèche lets you controlyour timetable and thus enhanceresults.

Rhône Vallée also benefits fromhigh speed TGV north-south raillinks serving both Valence andMontélimar, placing the site just 35minutes from Lyon, 2 hrs 10 minfrom Paris (with 10 round tripsdaily) and 1 hr 30 min fromMarseilles...«Commodities» traffic is also inten-se. Rhône Vallée allows you to takefull advantage of an exceptionalcommunication network.

The inland ports of Valence andLe Pouzin on the Rhone River provi-de direct access to Marseilles, theMediterranean’s leading port. At Rhône Vallée, you are halfway between the international airportsof Lyon-St-Exupery and Marseilles-Provence.

To make saving time second nature, consider Rhône Vallée first... «Our position enables us to deliver to the entire

Southeast in under 24 hours».

“We operate several production facilities in Europe and were seeking a location that would provide thebest delivery conditions to the Southeast of France. The zone had to have direct access to a motorway infra-structure and present substantial real estate possibilities: we require 50,000 sq. m. It was the enthusiasm ofthe representatives at the site that led us to choose Rhône Vallée. Mr. Martin, the Mayor of Le Pouzin, wasinstrumental in organizing meetings with the various services concerned, and facilitated the interaction withthe regional and departmental authorities. The “Syndicat Départemental d’Equipement de l’Ardèche” alsoprovided us with a wealth of support. Our Rhône Vallée logistics center will enable us to serve the entireSoutheast in under 24 hours”.

The Rhône Vallée IndustrialEstate was designed to provide theperfect balance between the currentand future needs of entrepreneursconcerned with the durable utility oftheir location. With 71 hectares ofimmediately available terrain, theindustrial estate offers rapid set-upcapacity with potential for expan-sion.

The site is perfectly adapted toheavy truck traffic owing to a motor-way interchange only 1.5km awaywith rapid, easy and secure access(roundabouts, wide highways, ...).

The Industrial Estate is classed asan industrial ZAC («zone d’aména-

gement concerté», collective deve-lopment zone) providing numerousadvantages within the scope ofgovernment-regulated installationprocedures.

All of the difficulties related tothe majority of industrial activities

have been resolved, thereby expedi-ting your installation project.

Thelabor pool within the

Rhone Valley allows easy recruit-ment of qualified personnel. Theregion also benefits from a widerange of companies providing indus-trial support services: transport,subcontractors, tertiary sector...

«Anticipate expectations, develop synergies».

“Rhône Vallée is designed to accommodate major industrial projects aiming to locate in the Rhone Valley.Our industrial estate has an exceptional geographic location. It provides access to the A7 north-south motor-way without having to cross urban areas. It offers all the major resources required by industry: untreatedwater (pumping), gas (the estate is connected to the Ardèche supply feeder), electricity (near large infra-structures and therefore without power limitation constraints) and telecommunications. The site has alsoincorporated the environmental concerns of industrialists and features first-class waste treatment facilities.We have anticipated the needs of industries by creating synergies in terms of resources and equipment. Fromthe technical standpoint, these measures include the creation of a wastewater purification plant at the site,and, from the administrative and regulatory point of view, the site has been classed as a ZAC... As a result,industrialists can avoid the vast maze of procedures required to set up operations: all that remains to be doneis to customize their “dossier” with the partners we introduce to them”.

We needed a new centre for spare parts which would allow us to meet increasing demand within theregion. We also wanted to ensure a quicker service and better availability of parts. We chose the RHÔNEVALLÉE due to its strategic location, which puts us in an ideal position to supply the whole of the southof France. It fits in perfectly with Toyota’s «just in time» policy: we are now able to guarantee supplyingspare parts and accessories to our Toyota distributors in under 24 hours.And I must say that I’ve already become very fond of the region. You know we’re not far from the gorgesof the Ardèche, and if you feel like visiting the mountains, all you have to do is cross the Rhône. I justcan’t get enough of the area!
