The area in and around Limousin has recently been targeted for economic development and a number of companies have been given subsidies and incentives for setting up business in the region. New investments include research institutions, a science park and about 12,000 companies coming to the region. Legran, a world-renowned leader in the production of low-voltage electrical supplies and equipment has sited its manufacturing centre and headquarters in the region. In addition, the 550,000 hectare woodlands of Limousin have until now been an untapped resource, and as such the region’s paper and pulp industry is now undergoing a great deal of expansion.
