Group Distribution Center Director,
Oriflame
“As a leading Swedish cosmetics producer, logistics is
central to our competitiveness and service. Given the
growth of our company, it was clear that we needed
a new distribution centre to serve our customers
better and more efficiently. After analysing various
options, we selected Hungary and the city of Üllő,
near Budapest, as a central hub for the distribution of
our products to 12 countries around Europe. With its
central location, we can deliver orders within 48-72
hrs. Excellent road infrastructure, being in close prox-
imity to the international airport, and having access
to a skilled labour force were other key factors in our
decision. To develop our new and modern facility, we
selected Goodman, a global leader in the ownership,
development and management of logistics space,
who met all our expectations and delivered the facility
in only six months.”

OUR SERVICES

Regional grants are the most typical forms of
incentives for greenfield / brownfield investments
or reinvestments. The maximum amount of regional
incentive is shown on the regional aid intensity
map. The map above illustrates that regional aid
available for investment for a large enterprise may
be up to 50% of the eligible costs of the investment,
depending on the region. For investments not
exceeding €50 million, the maximum intensity ratio
can be increased by 10 percent for medium-sized
and by 20 percent for small enterprises.
