The company currently makes six trams per month.
“Astra’s production capacity is about six trams per month working in one shift, which means it can increase its production capacity,” says deputy CEO Gheorghe Sirbu.
The company owner Valer Blidar recently told ZF that the staff at Astra Vagoane Calatori would be working in two shifts, which will boost production capacity.
Astra Vagoane Calatori, which posted more than 82.8 million lei (EUR17.5 million) revenue in 2019, an increase of 22% on the previous year, has two plants in Arad, each of which can assemble 25 to 30 trams per year. The company has some 358 employees, according to Finance Ministry data.
