You don't make snap decisions when choosing a location for your business. However, some locations are so inviting that the choice is obvious. In this case we are referring to the 'Oostboog' area east of the city of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands. Oostboog starts at the A7 near Zuidbroek and bends away along the N33 toward Veendam. Industrial estates with a net surface area of 50 hectares are available right now. Oostboog offers an abundance of space for local, regional, national and international activity. Not only do the industrial estates have a good and traffic-jam free connection with the west of the Netherlands, they are also ideally situated for companies that target Northern and/or Eastern Europe. And of course Oostboog also meets the 'secondary preconditions' for a lively business-to-business environment, such as, for instance, high-profile and motorway locations, good conference facilities, a perfect living environment and many sporting facilities such as a golf course.

 

Industrial estates
Together, the municipalities of Veendam and Menterwolde form the Oostboog economic hub. The region, with more than 41,000 inhabitants, is characterised by a large supply of business locations and business premises. A wide range of businesses occupies more than 500 hectares of industrial estates, with the emphasis on industry (metal industry, machine industry, furniture industry, chemical and agricultural businesses), logistics and (wholesale) trade. In addition, there are knowledge institutes and training establishments in the city of Groningen.
