The municipality possesses a land reserve of 150 hectares (370 acres) which is being divided into lots in partnership with the company that is setting up business there. The plots will range in area from 10,000 sq. m. (2.5 acres) to more than 10 hectares (24.7 acres). What is more, the ground quality is excellent, with a very high strength per sq. m.

On the route between Spain and Italy in the middle of Provence, Saint-Martin-de-Crau has the advantage of a strategic geographical position.

A very efficient motorway network places our zones (industrial, trade and technology businesses) only half an hour from the Marignane airport, fifteen minutes from the Nîmes-Arles-Camargue airport,
forty minutes from the port of Marseille, 10 minutes from the Arles river port, and 20 minutes from the TGV high-speed train station.

A goods station, private sidings are also major advantages for these sites.

We have a fully operational economic action office ("BAE") available to you to assist you in setting up.

The local development policy occurs in an extremely welcoming environment. The municipality treats each arriving company in a quality personalised way. The BAE is there to help entrepreneurs, support them, listen to them, and guide them in all their steps. The range of land available is highly competitive; every company will find something to their liking in the industrial, trade and technology zones.

Companies wishing to set up in the economic business centres can apply for grants from the département, the région and the central government (PAT) and for support from the European Community under FEDER (European Fund for Regional Development) Objective 2.

All these grants are supplemented by the possibility of exemption from the business tax for up to 5 years.

Training in the logistics trades can be arranged at the request of investors via the Chamber of Commerce and Industry ("CCI") of the Pays d'Arles (Arles district).
Reduced local taxation added to the quality of local labour are also important factors. The municipality is expanding at a rapid rate and the number of jobs is growing solidly, as is the rate of new companies setting up here.

THE ECOPOLE ZONE OF THE MAS LAURENT
Thanks to its strategic geographical situation, this site at SAINT MARTIN DE CRAU has attracted logistics and industrial companies that now constitute a real "pole" of specialist activity: the ECOPOLE zone, a showcase for St Martin's economy.
Situated next to the motorway and connected to the rail network, the Ecopôle zone of the Mas Laurent is especially designed for companies in the service sector.
The zone has its own private rail siding that is perfectly suited for the companies' logistical needs. Rail sidings are put in at the request of investors.
