SPECIAL OFFER

Ladies and Gentlemen!

“DAAC Hermes Grup” S.A. is the majority shareholder of such enterprises as “Fertilitatea Vulcanesti” S.A. and “Angrocomert Vest Est” S.A. These enterprises are residents of the free economic zones registered and active in the Republic of Moldova.

The free economic zones are offered preferential treatments stimulating business activities in order for them to achieve the set goals. Investment on the territory of the free zone is legally protected by state.

The free economic zone “Valcanes”, with preferential tax and customs treatment for attracting foreign capital and advanced technologies, is located in the South of the Republic of Moldova, at the border of three states: Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine. Plottage – 143.6 hectares. The distance to the boarder with Romania is 35 km, with Ukraine – 2 km. The free zone is located near the railroad, which joins it with Reni sea port on Danube (Odessa region, Ukraine) 38 km., Galati 48 km., Odessa 260 km, and Chisinau – 180 km.

Besides, the project of cross-border cooperation between Moldova, Romania and Ukraine is being implemented in this region. It was initiated by the presidents of the three countries in 1996 and implemented by signing of the agreement to establish the European region “Lower Danube” in February 1997 in Galati. The zone includes Moldovan districts Cahul, Cantemir, and Vulcanesti, Romanian counties Galati, Tulcea and Braila, Ukrainian region of Odessa. An important factor is also the proximity of the Giurgiulesti oil loading terminal and cargo and passenger port, which gives Moldova an access to the sea and significantly reduces expenses for shipments to European countries.

“Angrocomert Vest Est” S.A. is a resident of the free economic zone “Ungheni Business”. Ungheni municipality is located approximately 107 km away from the capital of the country Chisinau, 85 km away from Balti municipality and only 35 km away from Iasi (Romania).

«Ungheni Business» was formed on the basis of 16 enterprises, among which “Angrocomert Vest Est” S.A., ceramics plant, the former Ungheni meat-processing plant, “Ungheni-vin” S.A., “Garant-Impex”. The free zone is located on 45.72 hectares of land with a rather developed infrastructure: manufacturing and storage facilities, as well as access to motor and railroads. The free zone «Ungheni Business» will work for 25 years.

Advantageous geographic location of the zone will allow it to become a sort of economic bridge between West and East, will contribute to the development of economic cooperation with Romania, and will target economic agents at manufacturing of export-oriented and import-substituting goods.

The Protocol on Making the Iasi-Chisinau Railroad to Comply with European Standards signed by the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications of Moldova and its Romanian counterpart in September 2001 is also a good perspective. The project is funded by the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe.

FIG DAAC invites foreign partners that intend to enlarge their own businesses to mutually profitable cooperation in order to use the potential of these companies, as well as initiate and develop export-oriented manufacturing, implement modern equipment and technologies, as well as other projects in various branches of industry and commerce.
