Alka Trading budgeted RON260 million revenue in 2021, more than 12% higher than in 2020. The company is also planning to invest EUR15 million and hire another 100 people for a total of 867, but says it is experiencing a significant rise in raw material and packaging costs and a shortage of skilled and unskilled labor.
“Our three most important investment projects this year are the expansion of the production capacity at the plant in Ploiesti, investments in our own brands on the local market and abroad and investments in infrastructure,” the company’s officials told ZF.
Alka Trading’s brands include Alfers and Toortitzi.
