FTZ 181 offers thousands of acres of prime industrial and warehouse space at numerous sites throughout Northeast Ohio to provide significant, ongoing cost savings for companies engaged in international trade.

FTZ 181’s strategically placed sites link together a world-class multimodal logistics system — another major advantage of doing business in Northeast Ohio. The region’s superb logistics infrastructure includes America’s fourth-largest highway system, three railroads, four commercial airports, and numerous lake and river ports to provide unbeatable intermodal shipping options for international companies.

A strategic location enhances these advantages: Northeast Ohio is a major industrial corridor, geographically centered to provide easy access to major U.S. and Canadian markets, which means lower transportation costs. The region is within driving distance of 50 percent of U.S. and Canadian manufacturing and nearly 50 percent of the U.S. and Canadian population.

Supported by the State of Ohio’s new “business-friendly” tax structure and millions of dollars invested in technology, education, and work force development, the Northeast Ohio region also offers world-class healthcare and a wide variety of recreational and cultural activities.
