The Presta-Areal in Eschen is the economic centerpiece of the Liechtenstein Unterland and the headquarters of ThyssenKrupp Presta AG. The industrial history of the site began in 1941 with the founding of Press- und Stanzwerk AG (Presta), which over the decades evolved into the world market leader for steering columns. Today, the area comprises extensive production halls, state-of-the-art research centers, and testing laboratories where innovative components for the global automotive industry are manufactured. With over 1,000 employees at the headquarters, the company is one of the Principality's most significant employers. The area's infrastructure is specifically designed for heavy-duty traffic and the logistical requirements of an export economy.
