“We surpassed by around 10% our revenue and volume targets. Profit is likely to be in the same growth area,” stated Cristian Cornea, general manager of the company.

The plant has clients both in Romania and abroad.

“We owe these figures primarily to exports, which have come to weigh around 50% in revenue, and the ongoing cost optimization”.

For 2015, the company also devised an export-based strategy, with Can-Pack Romania official anticipating foreign markets will still weigh 50% in revenue. “Should the local market pick up, we will scale back exports”.

Can-Pack plans to invest around EUR500,000 in 2015, mainly in equipment meant to boost productivity, according to Cristian Cornea.
