Mountains. The company’s goal is to minimize waste

and so, for example, excess bark is burned in their

heating plant and byproducts, such as wood chips,

are put to good use by another Austrian company,

Lenzing Biocel Paskov, which draws these materials

directly from the Mayr-Melnhof processing area.

Lenzing Biocel uses these wood chips to produce

pulp, which is the first step in the production of woodbased textile fibers. Self-sufficiency is a core tenant

at Lenzing Biocel as well; its energy consumption

is directly covered by its own wood biomass-based

electrical plant and any excess is sold to the power

grid. This model is made possible mainly due to the

company’s strong emphasis on innovation. When it

comes to innovation, another top performer in the

region is the Swiss and Swedish technology company

ABB, which has operated in Czechia since 1992 and has

provided hundreds of jobs to people in Ostrava. This

number will grow by roughly another 120 employees

after their new production and development center for

robotics opens at the Mošnov industrial zone around

the middle of this year. A service center for industrial

robots will also be a part of this new installation—the

only one of its kind in Europe—as part of the web of

ABB global centers. Other noteworthy Austrian or

Swiss companies that operate within the region and

are considered significant local employers include

Semperflex Optimit in Odry, Modely Obaly in Opava

and Novogear in Frýdek-Místek.

Not only is our region linked with Austria and

Switzerland through successful economic cooperation,

but also a shared set of values and beautiful nature. In

this regard, there is ample potential for our cooperation

in the field of tourism, with which both Austria and

Switzerland have an expansive history of experience.
