ZONE C

Ringön, a district renowned for its heavily industrial yet occasionally artistic character, presents itself as a place of rich and multifaceted identity. Zone C, in particular, is no exception. Through its diverse landscape and authentic representations of the working culture, Zone C embodies the essence of a working man s hub. From steel workshops and large-scale industries to construction equipment rental companies, a thriving boat manufacturing sector, and even a handful of small retail businesses, the zone’s character is one of continuous evolution.

These statements highlight both the challenges and the opportunities within the area, offering a balanced perspective on its present state and its potential future development.
