New Business
With an ideal location in the center of California, lower operating costs, and a large labor pool that encompasses the Fresno area, Madera's business community is experiencing steady growth.
There are about 50 manufacturing plants in the Madera area, with major concentrations in winze, glass bottles, plastic products, food machinery, farm equipment, air conditioning, and steel. The rich San Joaquin Valley provides a ready supply of agricultural products, including almonds, pistachios, raisins and dairy products.
Madera Enterprise Zone offers a variety of state tax credits that can significantly reduce the cost of hiring new employees and purchasing equipment. Businesses operating in the Recycling Market Development Zone can receive special loans and other benefits if they use post-consumer or secondary waste materials in their manufacturing process.
