Eastern Europe is a very competitive manufacturing area and a fast growing consumer marketplace. It is close to the most demanding consumer markets of the European Union for high value goods, which lowers logistic and distribution costs.

In comparison to the low labour-cost countries such as China and India, it offers highly skilled engineers and a technical workforce of superior quality, which provides a good balance between the cost of labour, capital and quality of products.

This is why companies can find here a multitude of production, logistic and service solutions, which will greatly exceed their expectations. Clearly, Bulgaria and Romania are among the best options, since both have joined EU on 1 January 2007 and have to a large extent already adapted their legislative and service environments to EU requirements.
