Contract extension to search industrial projects in Flix

Barcelona, April 7, 2017. - Ercros and the consulting firm specialized in reindustrialisation processes, MOA BPI Group have agreed to extend the duration of the contract they subscribed to search for new projects capable of generating local employment in Flix (Tarragona).

This contract is part of the agreement established with the Department of Business and Knowledge of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the City Council of Flix to promote the reindustrialization of the area after the closure on December 11, 2017, by legal imperative, of the chlorine production plant that Ercros has in Flix.

In this new phase the largest European companies manufacturing chemical products will be contacted, as well as companies of waste treatment and specialized in recycling. This phase will expand the prospecting framework by contacting companies outside Europe and railway operators.
 
The work developed so far has identified several interested companies that have submitted projects that are under analysis.

The supply of land includes several plots that, as a whole, amount to 200,000 m2. The companies that would install in them could benefit from a structure of very competitive energy costs, availability of steam, a high flow rate of water for their processes, physicochemical station of water treatment, industrial landfill, own railway siding, etc.

Interested companies are offered the possibility of using land under rental or sale conditions, under very advantageous conditions depending on the volume of employment they are going to generate. Ercros also proposes the possibility of co-investing in those projects that can take advantage of synergies with their production processes.

The re-industrialization project has institutional support from the Generalitat, through the support mechanisms of the Acció agency, and the municipality, within the aid program for the implementation of new companies, which includes a 95% bonus on municipal taxes on buildings, facilities and works, and a 50% bonus on the economic activities tax (IAE).
