“The activity in this sector was below last year’s level in the first quarter of this year. This situation occurred because some of last year’s large projects were already implemented in the winter period, when the activity is usually low. This decrease is not related to the normal activity in the industry and the construction sector in Romania. We expect a growth of minimum 5-10% by the end of the year for the equipment leasing division,” said Marius Cristescu, rental manager Atlas Copco Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia.
Atlas Copco Romania, the local unit of Swedish producer of equipment which has been present on the local market for over 10 years, provides compressors, generators, construction and mining equipment and industry assembling systems.
The local unit coordinates, through its constructions division, the group’s operations in 14 countries, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Greece or Israel.
