Profit also rose, by 39%, nearing RON20 million, and the number of employees reached 201, around 20 more than in 2020.

“The 2021 increase was entirely due to the rising of most production costs. 2021 was a good year, marked by some issues at the level of supply chains. However, being part of the group helped us overcome them,” says Viorel Chertes, commercial manager at Hirsch Porozell Romania.

The company has four plants in Romania.

“2022 is, at least so far, as expected. We hope it will continue to be the same, with the main issue being the pressure the soaring energy prices are exerting over all costs,” adds Viorel Chertes.
