Localization of a company into environment, in which it implements its activity, is a significant factor affecting a company performance, costs and its competitiveness, especially in connection with transport costs. Companies make a decision on the location of the company to maximize the benefits from the given space. The company performance is influenced not only by own abilities and disposition of the company (cost, technological equipment), none of the companies acts in isolation but it is a part of the environment in which it carries out its activity. This environment consists of the sum of factors which determine the quality of the business environment and which the company, apart from external influences, has no possibility to influence directly (or only partly). Each region (region, municipality) tries to create the best possible environment and in this way to compete with other regions (other territorial units). Globalisation, especially in connection with the opening of the region and building new transport networks, significantly influences the localization processes.
