“We have constantly innovated, invested and explored new markets in 2017 to be able to offset the repercussions of the legislative changes, which made a significant impact on operating expenses, as they had not been budgeted for in 2017,” Carmina Paraschiv, general manager of the manufacturer told ZF.
Ana si Cornel’s plant makes about 17,000 tons of finished products a year – cold cuts like salami, sausages, and fresh pork, beef and poultry. The company exports some 180 tons of products to five EU countries ever year, according to the latest data available, which means about 5% of its production is exported, ZF has calculated.
Ana si Cornel also has more than 100 stores of its own.
