INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES IN MUREȘ COUNTY
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii din Oradea, Seria Geografie - Year 2018, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
This study sets out to "x-ray" all the industrial sectors currently operating in Mureș County, a topic generally „avoided” by most researchers due to the multiple transformations that have taken place during the postcommunist transition period. Thus, we tried to present the geographic distribution of existing industries, concentrated in the Middle Section of Mureş (Reghin, Târgu-Mureș, Ungheni, Iernut, and Luduș) and the Târnave (Târnăveni and Sighişoara), while rural areas experience low industrial input and output. In terms of industrial production, it is clear that the light industry is dominating (7,763 employees), especially in textiles (45.4%), followed by wood processing, with its furniture production subsector (62.1% of the 7,513 employees). Other major industries include food industry (16.8%, 7,129), machinery (16.5%, 6,989), chemical industry (8.8%, 3,739), construction materials (7%, 3,003) and the extractive industry (6.2%, 2,661). In 2005, Mureş County Council inaugurated its first industrial park, located in Ungheni, which now hosts 18 companies with over 1,700 employees.
