Borken ...on the right track

Borken is a town with importance across the region and is the seat of many local governmental bodies. There is an excess of commuter numbers and the town is a major source employment in the region.

Terms such as loyalty to location, innovative thinking and flexibility are not new to our local businesses. Thanks to a healthy sectoral mix of medium-sized enterprises, Borken has a head start on other towns, when comparisons of regional job market data are run. On top of this, the town's rural origins and pronounced, outgoing social nature guarantee an extremely high quality and equally willing workforce.

The following market sectors are heavily represented in Borken: the textile industry, wood processing, mechanical engineering, the food production industry, the plastics industry, the printing industry and of course the whole range of trades and services.

An attractive location to work and live...

Borken has many residential areas as well as a very high general standard of living.

We don't just consider the varied cultural and sporting events and busy club life, to be the heart and soul of the town. You will also find many affordable events and activities as well as a very attractive landscape filled with shops and boutiques. A number of excellent educational and training opportunities go to complete the picture.

With its large range of recreational activities, moderate traffic volume and safe school paths, Borken also offers a perfect environment in which to raise your children. This is complemented by a good social infrastructure and a high feeling of general well-being coupled with a low crime rate. Family friendly with a capital F!

The relatively low living costs in the town, also make it a great location. When compared on a national and European level, land and construction costs are much lower in Borken. The knock on effect of this is that the region's building and construction companies carry much lower overheads and maintenance costs. This in turn means that a house with garden is still very affordable. In fact, Borken is characterised by a very high number of detached houses.
