The city's main industrial park is situated {{convert|11|km|0|abbr=on}} south, in the [[Săvinești]] area. During the communist period, the ''Săvinești platform'' was one of the most important chemical plants in Romania and the site of a research institute. Today, the industrial facility is part of the Italian company [[Radici Group]], and it operates at low capacity, as the Italian firm bought the chemical plants for pennies and sold it for scrap metal.
