Industry

Austria has big resources of raw materials. Metallurgy is mostly developed in Styria, where the brown coal, iron and manganese ore, magnesite (the 2nd biggest producer in the world), zinc and lead ores are processed. Mining in Tyrol is very similar. There are the important deposits of rock salt and copper near Salzburg. There occurs also precious metals, such as silver and gold. Even though coal is extracted at several places, there is still the lack of it and it must be imported. Iron and steel industry are developed in the area of Vienna and in the valleys of Upper Styria (Leolen and Donawitz). Engineering and automotive industry is mainly situated in Upper Austria and Styria. An important product of chemical industry is cellulose (Linec, Treibach, Carinthia and Lower Austria). Textile industry is centralised in three places – in the Western part of Vorarlberg, in Tyrol and Vienna. Electrotechnical industry is concentrated in Vienna, Salzburg, Carinthia, glass industry in Tyrol.
