Eurozone triangle in Forbach: the first company takes possession of its building
Last year, the Forbach agglomeration launched the extension of the Eurozone of Forbach Nord, with the development along rue de Schœneck of three hectares intended to host businesses. La Couleur des Jardins is the first company to settle on the new site, named the triangle de l’Eurozone.
In June 2021, the Forbach agglomeration began work on the Eurozone triangle. Objective: develop a three-hectare area on the other side of the access roundabout of the Eurozone of Forbach Nord to host businesses. Six plots were for sale. "Practically everything is taken. Four have been sold, one is reserved and an option has been filed on the last remaining plot," says Jean-Luc Jehin, director of the SEML (Société d’économie mixte locale), the project leader on the property side.
La Couleur des Jardins moving in
Eleven months after the start of work, the first building is finished. The company La Couleur des Jardins has begun moving into its brand-new, spacious premises at the entrance to the new zone. From rue de Schœneck, which passes by, the landscaper's large sign, mounted on the black facade, is visible from afar. "We are in the middle of moving. Before, we were based in Morsbach," say the two managers of this young company, which specialises in everything related to outdoor landscaping and garden maintenance. Simon Freitag and Alexandre Morzerski founded their company in 2015. They are delighted to have found a plot ideally located at the entrance to Forbach on which to build, with the support of the SEML, a building suited to their needs. "There were two of us at the start. Soon we will be 24 employees. We were cramped in our old premises, we needed more space to develop our business," says Simon Freitag, pleased to now have a fine, modern space, with offices, a showroom and large hangars for equipment.
The Veolia building under construction
Opposite La Couleur des Jardins, another building is under construction. "It will house Veolia. The work should be finished by October," reports the president of the agglomeration, Jean-Claude Hehn. Other projects are underway: "Transina, a transport company, has filed its building permit. Work should begin in October. For now, this company is hosted at the business incubator of the Eurodev Center." Next, the company Isma will settle in. "That is planned later this year." The agglomeration community has invested 760 000 euros to make these economic development plots serviced. The idea is to extend this zone. "But today, the only option for expansion is towards Simon," the president points out. "We receive many requests from companies looking for land, but little land is available. On the Eurozone, only two plots remain, and not much at the Forbach Sud technopole. So other solutions must be found."
