OREANDA-NEWS. June 27, 2014. According to the Tracom Director General, at present, the industrial park is home to 30 residents. Their sales volume totalled MDL 200 million. By 2015, it is expected to exceed MDL 1 billion. In 2013 residents of Tracom paid about MDL 35 million as duties and taxes.

To compare, in 2012, this figure was equal to MDL 8.3 million. In line with the 2013-2015 Tracom Strategic Development Plan, the incomes of the industrial park are expected to make MDL 19.2 million in 2014 and MDL 19.6 million in 2015. Industrial park Tracom has stretched on a territory of 32.26 hectares and specializes in producing machines, plant, electronic and electrical equipment, metal ware as well as in developing information technologies.

Among 30 current residents of the park there are Moldcell, Starnet, Microcell, Larice, Ercolano and others. According to Vitalie Vrabie, among challenges facing Tracom there are the worn out infrastructure and the lack of incomes to rehabilitate the facilities and improve quality of the services. To remedy the situation the water supply system was rehabilitated, the design for reconstruction of the gas supply system was developed and repair works in the administrative block were launched in 2012.

As Speaker of Parliament of Moldova Igor Corman noted while visiting Tracom, the government has to support the development of the domestic industry. With the Association and DCFTA agreements singed, Moldova will have enhanced access to European financial aid and will be granted more opportunities to attract foreign investment.
