In future, EDITEL will also support international companies from Frankfurt RheinMain with its expertise in the field of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). The relocation was supported by FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH International Marketing of the Region (FRM GmbH), Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) and Hessen Trade & Invest GmbH (HTAI) with the support of the Eschborn Economic Development Agency.
Adnan Shaikh, Mayor of the City of Eschborn: “International companies will find excellent conditions in Eschborn to successfully start and expand their business. We offer short distances and perfect connections to the whole world - both via Frankfurt Airport and the motorway hub. We also have a very well-developed fibre optic network in the region, and more and more data centres are being built in the region. Nearby Frankfurt, with the world's largest internet hub, has developed into the data capital of Europe in recent years. With this offer, international companies such as EDITEL provide an outstanding overall package.”
EDITEL, headquartered in Vienna, has over 40 years of experience in electronic data interchange. As a partner to national and international industrial, logistics and trading companies, EDITEL digitises business processes between companies and ensures optimisation, harmonisation and efficiency increases in supply chain processes. Data exchange via EDI improves quality in the supply chain and leads to cost savings. EDITEL is represented by subsidiaries and a nationwide network of franchise partners in Central and Eastern Europe. The company is headquartered in Austria, with branches in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.
"Hesse is a top location for international companies in the information and communication technology sector. The establishment of EDITEL in our federal state emphasises this. For us, the project is also further confirmation of the successful cooperation between the national investment promotion agency GTAI and the Hessian Economic Development Agency network," says Dr Rainer Waldschmidt, CEO of HTAI GmbH.
‘The reasons why international companies settle in our region are as varied as they are individual. In the case of EDITEL, the fact that the digital infrastructure in Frankfurt Rhine-Main is absolutely competitive on an international level undoubtedly played a decisive role. The staff in our region are also predominantly English-speaking and often have an international background. People in the region are open to new ideas and favour international cooperation. This lively exchange of knowledge and ideas is what makes Frankfurt Rhine-Main so successful and attractive for companies,’ says Eric Menges, President & CEO of FRM GmbH.
FRM GmbH has been in contact with EDITEL since 2023 and supported the company throughout the entire relocation process in coordination with HTAI GmbH and Wirtschaftsförderung Eschborn. The FRM GmbH Europe team supported EDITEL with location information, put them in touch with relevant contacts in the region and helped them find a suitable office property.
