Germany
The “Innovation Axis Stuttgart-Zurich” is one of the strongest economic areas in Europe with very good transportation links. It is no coincidence that the region between Hochschwarzwald, the Danube Valley, and Lake Constance is one of the most popular locations in Germany. University cities such as Freiburg and Constance appeal to the young with its international flair, while the area around Villingen, Schwenningen, and Donaueschingen is attractive for its natural beauty, sports, and family offerings.
USA
The two southeastern U.S. locations, Gainesville, Georgia and Virginia Beach, Virginia owe their attractiveness not only to being close to other major metropolitan areas, but also to their proximity to natural settings such as the Appalachian Mountain chain, beautiful beaches, and the Chesapeake Bay. In the world’s second largest automotive market, the locations also benefit from good airport connections, shipping options, and state-of-the-art production environments.
Mexico
Querétaro is two thousand meters (approx. 6562 feet) above sea level. The dynamic business metropolis in the center of Mexico has a strong industrial presence, but at the same time it has retained its historic flair. In a few hours’ drive, going east or west, you can reach the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. With many direct flights you have easy access to North, Central, and South American locations.
China
The Asian automotive market has the strongest growth worldwide. The newest IMS Gear Group location in Taicang is not far from metropolitan Shanghai. This modern facility provides an environment with high quality and production standards. Taicang has received numerous awards as a green city and a particularly attractive tourist center.
