manufacturing park inked formal agreements with the various scientific

monster.com for Human Resource facilitation and eLets Technomedia Pvt.
Ltd., Medgate today Magazine and BMJ Noida as media partners. Along with
this AMTZ has also launched bookings of office space for manufacturers
The
AMTZ with in-house high investment scientific facilities would help
manufacturers reduce the cost of manufacturing by more than 40 per cent
to 50 per cent. Currently, due to lack of such centrally located
shareable facilities, either manufacturers do not undertake production
of technologies requiring them or send their products abroad for process
up-gradation and value addition. While the zone would have all such
facilities in-house to reduce manufacturing process costs, it would be
located in an area which is well connected with railways, roadways,
waterways and airways with near presence of industrial corridors, port
and harbour to reduce logistical costs.
