THE CITY OF ARAD

The geographical location of the city at the junction of major commercial roads as well as the vicinity to the border has favored the economical development of the city. The city of Arad is an industrial and commercial centre of old tradition. The guilds set up in the 17th and 18th centuries will constitute the basis for the further industrial development.

In the late 19th century, the big industry develops along the small one. We mention the steam mill, the alcohol and yeast factory and the textile factory of the Neuman brothers, Hendel tool-machines factory, Lengyel furniture factory that will became famous in Europe for its high quality products, the railcars factory managed by Johann Weitzer. At the beginning of the 20th century Arad was considered one of the most developed cities in Transylvania.

Nowadays, the city of Arad is the main entrance gate in Romania coming from the European Union and the most important trans- European road and rail transportation junction in western Romania, included in the 4th Pan-European Corridor linking Western Europe to South-Eastern European and Middle East countries. Another element of attraction is the extended infrastructure, the qualified labour force and the rich industrial tradition.
