The growth pace in the first half is four times lower than in the year-ago period. However, the company is headed towards RON1 billion revenue mark fast.
Aquila Part Prod Com posted RON907 million revenue in 2017, up 14% over 2016, Finance Ministry data show.
The growth comes at a time when consumer spending, the most important factor that dictates the trend of the transport and distribution companies, saw double-digit growth last year.
If it ends the year with at least 10% growth, then Aquila Part Prod Com will be joining the companies with over RON1 billion revenue held by Romanian entrepreneurs. The leader of this group is DIY retailer Dedeman of Paval brothers, with RON6.33 billion revenue.
There are only 12 companies held by local entrepreneurs in Romania with more than RON1 billion revenue.
