Why Direct Contacts Matter for Foreign Tenants
For foreign businesses evaluating industrial park locations in Anhui Province (安徽, Ānhuī), having direct access to park management committees — the administrative bodies that operate and manage each zone — can make the difference between a six-month negotiation and a two-month market entry. This resource provides a curated directory of key contact points across Anhui’s major industrial zones, organized by city and park type, with practical guidance on how to engage with each efficiently.
Unlike online research or third-party intermediaries, direct communication with park management committees gives foreign investors access to the most current information on land availability, incentive packages, infrastructure status, and regulatory processes. This directory is designed to help you build those direct relationships.

7. Best Practices for Contacting Park Management
Based on experience working with foreign investors who have successfully established operations in Anhui, here are recommendations for effective engagement:
Prepare a one-page project brief. Before contacting any park, prepare a one-page summary of your project including proposed investment amount (USD), expected land requirement (m²), number of employees, industry classification, and target timeline. Park committees need this information to match you with the right zone and prepare a proposal.
Contact the provincial bureau first. The Anhui Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau can route your inquiry to the most appropriate parks and ensure you get a coordinated response. Approaching parks individually may result in inconsistent information and missed opportunities for cross-park incentives.
Be specific about requirements. Generic inquiries receive generic responses. Mention specific requirements such as power capacity (kVA), ceiling height for factory space, wastewater treatment needs, and proximity to specific transportation modes. The more specific your requirements, the more useful the response.
Request a site visit itinerary. Once you have identified 3-5 candidate parks, ask the provincial bureau to arrange a 2-3 day site visit covering multiple zones. This is a standard service provided at no cost and can dramatically accelerate your decision process.
Follow up in writing. After any phone call or meeting, send a follow-up email summarizing what was discussed and confirming next steps. Park management committees operate in a bureaucratic environment where written records matter for internal coordination.
Next Steps
Begin your engagement by sending a one-page project brief to the Anhui Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau at service@anhuiinvest.gov.cn. They will respond with a preliminary park recommendation and can coordinate introductions to the specific park management committees listed in this directory.
