Industrial site
Wiltz Business Park, locally known as the Salzbaach zone, is the economic hub of the Luxembourg Ardennes (Oesling). The park symbolizes the successful structural transformation of the town of Wiltz, which evolved from a traditional leather industry center into a modern location for the circular economy. After the famous Well-suited tannery was forced to close in 2006, the area was systematically opened to new enterprises. Today, the park hosts a variety of businesses in construction, logistics, crafts, and environmental technology. A special focus is placed on the concept of the circular economy, as Wiltz is officially recognized as a 'hotspot for circular economy.' Its location in the north of the country is strategically important for securing regional employment and reducing commuter flows towards the south. Through modern office complexes and flexible workshops, the park provides attractive conditions for both start-ups and established firms. Connections to the railway line and national roads ensure efficient supply chains for the entire northern region.
