In the first six months of 2011, the company posted a turnover of EUR1.8 million.

“The increase compared to the first six months of 2010 is substantial. Last year we had a good start (…) and most of talks materialized in the second half of the year,” Clontea said.

After investing solely in equipment, Baustoff+Metall Romania decided to earmark funds for the expansion of storage space by another 1,700 sqm, in a new facility.

According to the company official, 70% of company sales are covered by deliveries to the commercial segment, or office construction, while the difference comes from orders for the residential segment.

The Baustoff+Metall group is active in 17 countries Europe-wide, with seven production units, 88 commercial units and over 1,200 employees.
