Copenhagen South/West is located next to the Central
Business District. The main business sectors are distribution and
administration. Many international companies have picked the
area as location for their Scandinavian headquarters
and distribution facilities due to the excellent and efficient
infrastructure. Among these are Lyreco, Sony Nordic, L'Oreal,
GlaxoSmithKline, DHL Worldwide Express, and UPS.
Copenhagen South/West is the perfect choice
for any company with large transportation
needs because of it's excellent infrastructure as
the position is supported by the intersection of the two main
motorways the E20 (east/west bound) and the E55/E47 (north/south
bound).
Copenhagen South/West hosts a regional transport
centre in Høje-Taastrup. The transport centre connects motorway,
main roads, railway, S-train and bus routes. The major industrial
harbours are within reach and Copenhagen International Airport and
Roskilde Airport can be reached within 20 and 10 minutes,
respectively. The transport centre is suitable for all
transport-related business ranging from small to large companies
within transportation and logistics and offers room for all
services related to transportation requirements.
Some of the most prominent Danish businesses within
distribution are found in this area including DFDS Transport, TNT
Denmark and a large number of small companies.
The area along the circular motorway has
traditionally attracted a wide range of manufacturing companies
because the typical office and industrial rent levels are not as
high as in the Central Business District and Copenhagen North. A
lot of companies within IT and high-tech manufacturing are located
in this area.
Avedøre Holme, a major industrial area just a few
kilometers from the city centre, is very appealing to
companies within the biotech/pharma industry and companies within
the food sector.
A number of well-known international businesses
have located their Scandinavian Headquarters here including
Motorola, Colgate-Palmolive, Yamanouchi Pharma, Mattel Northern
Europe and Renault Trucks.
