After the merger, the activity of the two companies will be grouped under Brikston Construction Solutions, and the two factories will be coordinated by Adrian Minzat in Iasi and Mihaela Hadiner in Sighisoara.
The merger will make the group one of the largest construction material manufacturers in Romania.
Leier entered the Romanian market in 2006 with a factory in Alba county. In 2018, Leier bought Iasi-based brick manufacturer Brikston from investment fund ADM Capital, and in 2019, it consolidated its position with the acquisition of Siceram Sighisoara, the only manufacturer of ceramic tiles and blocks Romania.
The group continues to consolidate its position by building new factories in Catcau (Cluj county) and Simand (Arad county), following total investments of over EUR25 million. The factory in Cluj county is set to start production of concrete prefabs in March 2021, and the factory in Arad is set to start production in November 2021.
