The alliance

The six NORDGATE communities introduce themselves.

• Neumünster
• Bad Bramstedt
• Kaltenkirchen
• Henstedt-Ulzburg
• Quickborn
• Norderstedt

Ideas stand on solid ground here

Bad Bramstedt is the number one health and recreation resort in the NORDGATE region. Numerous clinics and hotels offer health tourism at its finest – in the heart of the hilly Holstein Auenland region. Whether it's water treading, canoeing, hiking, horse riding, or golfing – the town gets everyone moving!

Another very special feature is the Manufakturen-Insel (Manufacturing Island), which is being built on the Auenland II site at the entrance to the town. In this industrial park, you can experience creative craftsmanship through glass fronts. The Gewerbegebiet Nord (Nord industrial park) and the Gewerbepark Auenland (Auenland business park) also offer many opportunities for companies.

Business location with feel-good factor

Kaltenkirchen appeals particularly to young families thanks to its perfect balance between living, working, and leisure. The town boasts a comprehensive municipal infrastructure, from schools to kindergartens, as well as short distances to a wide range of excursion destinations in the region. Well-known companies such as the international confectionery manufacturer Cavendish & Harvey Confectionery, G. Heinemann Medizintechnik, and Novapor Hans Lau appreciate the business-friendly conditions.

With attractive tax rates and developed commercial space at favourable conditions, Kaltenkirchen offers optimal conditions for entrepreneurial success. A special highlight is the HolstenTherme, which attracts visitors from across the region seeking relaxation with its Caribbean flair. As the headquarters of the AKN railway, Kaltenkirchen also has excellent connections to modern local rail transport.

Green garden city with a bright future

Henstedt-Ulzburg combines the best of both worlds: the NORDGATE municipality offers companies an efficient infrastructure and its residents a high quality of life. Spacious green areas, idyllic residential areas, and a diverse range of retail outlets in the Gewerbepark Nord industrial park make Henstedt-Ulzburg a popular place to live.

No wonder that around 3,000 companies from almost all industries have already chosen this location, including well-known names such as Boeing Distribution Services, Rewe Group, and fragrance manufacturer Frey + Lau. The “place to be” is the Gewerbegebiet Nord industrial park. Here, companies will find tailor-made plots of land, perfectly developed and ideally connected to the A7 motorway. Thanks to the fibre optic connection provided by wilhelm.tel, the companies are also well-equipped for the future in terms of digital technology.

The perfect climate for living and working

As a “city in the countryside,” Quickborn offers an exceptional balance between urban life and nature. A wide range of cultural activities, lively community festivals, and extensive local recreation areas create an environment where living and working can be easily combined.

Well-known companies such as comdirect bank, the HanseWerk Group, and MAN commercial vehicles already appreciate our strategically favorable location directly on the A7 motorway. Quickborn has also become a pioneer in sustainable business practices. The innovative EQ Business Park completely dispenses with fossil fuels for heat and power generation.

This is where success stories happen!

Norderstedt is the top address for international companies, right next to Hamburg Airport. This dynamic city on the outskirts of Hamburg combines excellent transport links with a prominent neighbourhood: from technology leader tesa to global players such as Casio Europe and Johnson & Johnson MedTech to innovation driver Jungheinrich.

The premium location NORDPORT in particular impresses with its international appeal. Located directly next to the runway at Hamburg Airport, it offers space for research, development and offices. The quality of life in Norderstedt is also high. Our tip: Norderstedt City Park, which is ideal for walking, sports or relaxation all year round.
