Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to evaluate the economic performance of manufacturing industry in the agglomeration, which is presented by a strong industrial tradition. The Pilsen agglomeration is a relatively significant territorial unit for the population of the Czech Republic. The question is whether the importance of the Pilsen agglomeration is also expressed by its economic performance. Method of delimitation of agglomeration has been based on using of commuting to work data. Through a data base on reciprocal commuting flows, the correlation of the core of the agglomeration will be determined, ie. Pilsen, with surrounding municipalities. Kovanda has already tried to define the Pilsen agglomeration. The thesis will, therefore, offer a comparison of the delimitation of agglomerations through two different methods. The performance of the manufacturing industry will be based on the aggregation of business accounting, especially the indicator of labor productivity, i.e the ratio between value added and number of employees. The main findings include the fact that the Pilsen agglomeration showed very good results in the sector, which are most represented in the employment of manufacturing. The main drivers of the economy in the Pilsen agglomeration are beverage industry, transport, and general engineering.
