The location was ranked third among the twelve Bavarian ports and was able to reduce the distance to the market leaders Regensburg and Aschaffenburg. In the trimodal industrial and logistics park Straubing-Sand more than 75.000 m² industrial area was marketed to six different settlers in 2010. In addition to three small property sales to the printing enterprise MK-Druck and the two newly set up businesses Pielmeier Engineering and BAIS-Akademie, 6 hectares were marketed to industrial enterprises.
