The Brest Free Economic Zone (FEZ), established in 1996, represents a highly successful economic initiative and holds the distinction of being the oldest special zone of its kind in Belarus. Perfectly positioned strategically directly on the border with the European Union, it operates as a dynamic springboard for international trade relations. The FEZ provides foreign and domestic investors with an unbeatable combination of significant tax exemptions, streamlined customs procedures, and state-of-the-art logistical infrastructure. Today, the expansive industrial park is home to over 70 enterprises hailing from more than 20 countries, with manufacturing focuses ranging from large-scale food processing and furniture production to sophisticated electronics assembly. The zone benefits massively from its direct access to primary trans-European railway and highway corridors, guaranteeing rapid and cost-effective freight transport between East and West, thereby making the location exceedingly attractive for exporters.
