Nancy, A Metropolis Dedicated to Service

At the intersection between the North-South and East-West trade routes, Nancy is positioned as a major logistic hub. The strategic location of the Ludres-Fléville Zone, which can be reached from the A33 and A330 motorways, makes this platform the ideal choice for many national transport companies, like Transalliance, Darfeuille, Graveleau or DHL.

France's 5^th-largest financial centre, Nancy plays a decisive role in the Greater East. The nation's major banks and the Banque de France have established their regional management there, while SNVB (CIC Group's regional bank) is headquartered in the area. In total, Nancy's financial activities account for 30% of employment in the banking-insurance sector in Lorraine. The major insurance companies have also established their regional headquarters there.

Reflecting the metropolitan area's economic vitality, nearly one out of every two companies in Nancy was founded in the last 10 years. This newfound growth has occurred primarily in the B-to-B services sector, which currently employs 38,500 people. Its 4,800 establishments offer a very wide range of activities, from technical or operational cleaning services to transport and security guard services. B-to-B services also mean consulting in finance, strategy, communication and research and development.

Consulting and assistance are incidentally a vital and booming activity in Greater Nancy. It is now home to 30% of jobs in services and runs the gamut from architecture to engineering, communication, tax services, accounting and IT.

Alongside its B-to-B services, services to individuals are developing in Greater Nancy. They directly contribute to improving the quality of living. With 4,800 structures including administration, education, recreation and culture, Nancy residents always find what they need. They also have access to 4,500 shops and hotel-restaurants, not to mention the 3,000 establishments working in healthcare and social assistance.

A traditional and innovative stage

Industry remains a vital component of the local economic community : over 20,000 employees work in the 1,600 establishments in the sector. Saint-Gobain PAM specialises in metals, producing ductile iron pipes, employs for instance 2,000 people, while chemical company Solvay Carbonate France puts over 450 people to work.

Traditional industry relies on its innovative potential, thanks to the development of high-performance SMIs working in cutting-edge sectors. Collot Technologies, for instance, has specialised in precision metals and Norémat manufacturers and maintains roadside cleaning equipment. The latter was chosen by Mercedes-Benz as one of its suppliers.
