“There are several explanations for this decrease, but the main causes are the exponential increase in the price of construction materials, equipment, machinery, energy, the pandemic and delivery delays in supply chains. So, all in all, 2021 was a difficult year and most likely the challenges it brought will continue into 2022,” CON-A owner Mircea Bulboaca says.

Even in a turbulent year like 2021, the company managed to adapt to the context and to complete the projects in the pipeline, he added. Last year, CON-A completed the Clariant bioethanol production plant in Podari, Dolj County, and is now building a stadium that complies with current UEFA requirements, a multi-purpose hall and, in addition to civil and industrial construction projects, is also developing several infrastructure projects.

The company’s investment plans include the acquisition of new equipment, machinery and new technology, for which it set aside about EUR2 million.
