Talks between Bosch officials and local authorities in Simeria started three months ago. The new factory would create 2,000-2,500 jobs, the local authorities said.
“We’ve found a private land of 20 hectares, owned by 35 individuals whom we’ve contacted and who are open to selling their properties. The town hall has promised to ease the investor’s access to land and utilities,” said Simeria town hall secretary Nicolae Adrian Todor.
Bosch officials in Romania said they could not comment on the potential investment at this time.
In May, Mihai Boldijar, general manager of Robert Bosch and representative of Bosch group on the Romanian market, said the company was considering investing in a new production facility in Romania and a decision would likely be made by the end of the year.
