The department of Maipú is located at 15 Km. from the city of Mendoza. It has an area of 717 Km.2, cultivated mainly with high quality grapes, olives, fruits and vegetables. As regards to wine-growing, it is located in the so called “First Zone” of the Republic of Argentina, due to its privileged agro-climatic conditions.
In Maipú there is a variety of companies set up in their most part in an industrial area that has all the services, and a strategic location due to its proximity to the bi-oceanic corridor that links Chile’s harbors to those in the Atlantic, through national routes 7 and 40, railways and the international airport.
