Industrial Park Factory Leasing and Manufacturing Enterprise Location Guide

Manufacturing enterprise location directly affects production efficiency, logistics costs, and talent recruitment. Industrial park factory leasing requires comprehensive consideration of production needs, supporting facilities, and policy environment.

1. Factory Types and Standards

Factory types: ① standard factory (multi-story/single-story, suitable for electronics, light industry, assembly); ② single-story steel structure factory (8–12m height, suitable for machinery, hardware, warehousing); ③ custom factory (built per enterprise needs); ④ incubator/accelerator (suitable for startup tech enterprises). Key parameters: floor height, load capacity (ground floor usually 2–5 tons/㎡, upper floors 500kg–1 ton/㎡), power capacity, fire rating, loading docks, elevator configuration.

2. Park Selection Factors

Industrial park selection should consider: ① geographic location (close to raw material sources/markets/ports, logistics convenience); ② industrial clustering (same-industry clustering creates supply chain advantages, e.g., Dongguan electronics, Foshan ceramics); ③ supporting facilities (employee dormitories, canteens, commercial amenities, wastewater treatment, power distribution); ④ transportation conditions (highway, port, airport distance); ⑤ talent resources (surrounding vocational colleges, labor market); ⑥ park management (property level, safety management, enterprise services).

3. Rent Costs and Policy Incentives

Factory rent: Dongguan standard factory RMB 15–30/㎡/month, single-story steel structure RMB 20–40/㎡/month, townships relatively cheaper. Besides rent, consider: property fees, utilities (industrial electricity price), wastewater treatment fees, elevator fees. Policy incentives: high-tech industrial parks may offer rent subsidies (first 2–3 years reduction/exemption), tax refunds, talent subsidies, R&D grants. Inquire about specific policies with the park management committee and include incentives in the lease contract.

4. Location Considerations

① environmental assessment requirements (whether factory meets industry EIA requirements, whether sensitive targets nearby); ② fire safety acceptance (factory fire rating meets production needs, difference between Class C/D factories); ③ power capacity increase (whether can apply for increased power capacity, cost and cycle); ④ clear property rights (confirm lessor has lawful leasing rights, avoid property disputes); ⑤ land use nature (industrial land cannot be used for commercial purposes, confirm planned use); ⑥ long-term stability (whether park has demolition plans, avoid short-term relocation). Visiting multiple parks on-site and inviting production managers and equipment suppliers for joint evaluation is recommended.
