Key Competitive Attractions
Krefeld is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, north-west of Dusseldorf and just a few kilometres to the west of the River Rhine. About 235,000 people live in Krefeld, which is also called the "Velvet and Silk City" due to its strong textile sector. About 80% of all neckties manufactured in Germany originate from Krefeld. The headquarters of Fressnapf, a pet food retailer Franchise company, are also situated here.
