Efficiency and environmental protection


The Plaine de l’Ain Industrial Park offers a high-quality living and working environment that has everything necessary to ensure the highest levels of efficiency.
As a result of its exemplary track record in environmental management, Plaine de l’Ain was the first industrial park in Europe to gain ISO 14001 accreditation and to be registered with the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).


Quick, direct access to all the main markets

Enviably situated between Lyon and Geneva, the Plaine de l’Ain Industrial Park lies at the very heart of the Rhône-Alpes regional business market. A further key advantage is its direct links to the motorway network via the A42, A39, A40 and A6/A motorways, which form a backbone of road connections between the north and the south of Europe.
With Lyon just 30 minutes away, the Plaine de l’Ain benefits from rapid access to all the services on offer in France’s second city, while enjoying all the advantages of its location in a developing rural environment, rich in community amenities and leisure facilities (water-sports centre and fitness club, polo club, golf course, etc.).
In addition, there are two international airports close at hand – Lyon-Saint Exupéry, just 20 minutes away, and Geneva, an hour away – providing direct and rapid access to Paris and all the main European markets.

The 90 companies already present or in the process of setting up on the Plaine de l’Ain Industrial Park have recognised the site’s potential and facilities as a key factor to their future growth, and between them have created over 4,500 jobs locally.
