Timișoara Industrial and Technological Park (Romanian: Parcul Industrial și Tehnologic Timișoara; abbreviated PITT) is a business park in the western Romanian city of Timișoara spread over 18.37 hectares on Calea Torontalului, a major traffic artery in the north of the city.[1] Administered by the Timiș County Council, it was built in 2004 with PHARE funds of 3.7 million euros.[2]
As of 2022, the park boasts a full occupancy rate, hosting 21 companies—16 Romanian and five with German, Irish, or Italian capital. These companies are involved in a wide range of activities, including medicine production, electrical panel manufacturing, custom software development, advertising material creation, as well as providing design, research and development, and logistics services.[3]
Location
The park is situated on Calea Torontalului, 6 km from the city center, along the national road DN6, which leads to the Cenad–Kiszombor border crossing with the European Union, located 75 km from the park. The Traian Vuia International Airport is just 15 km away, and the Timișoara North railway station is 8 km from the location.[4]
History
PITT was carried out by the Timiș County Council and the Timiș Economic and Social Development Agency, within a project financed by the PHARE SIF 2001 program, the National Fund for Regional Development, local funds, and other sources.[5]
Inaugurated in October 2004, the park spans a total area of 18.37 ha, divided into 25 plots ranging from 950 m2 to 8,420 m2.[5] Additionally, PITT features an Administrative Pavilion that offers 19 rental spaces and can host events in its conference, protocol, and seminar rooms. The entire park is equipped with access roads, electricity, natural gas, drinking water, sewage, garbage collection, and telephone network.[6]
Until the outbreak of the economic crisis in 2008, PITT had raised around 28 million euros from developers.[7]
