VGP Park Ústí nad Labem City is located on a brownfield site near the city centre on the site of a former glassworks between Sklářská, Tovární and Kekulova streets. Its location close to the end customers makes it particularly suitable for last mile logistics, and it is located just 2 km from the D8 motorway connecting Prague and Dresden. Ústí nad Labem has a long industrial tradition and can therefore be an ideal location for expanding the business of both logistics and industrial companies. Their expansion into the area will create dozens of jobs, which will also boost employment in the region.
