abstract:Zona Franca (, also called in ) is a logistics and industrial area located in the Sants-Montjuïc district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). It is near the C-31 road and la Marina de Sants (Barcelona), el Prat de Llobregat and l'Hospitalet de Llobregat.
With a few exceptions, such as Honda's giant Manaus plant, which makes motorbikes from scratch, the ZonaFranca has failed to get much beyond serving as an assembly line.
To minimise fiddles and allegations of screwdriver plants, Suframa already requires firms to submit detailed plans of exactly which manufacturing processes they will use in their ZonaFranca plants.
