Sanitizers aside, Farmec sold almost 4% more products last year compared with 2020, which generated 8.1% more revenue, the company said on Thursday.

“Our long-term development strategy, amended in 2020 as a result of the pandemic, was resumed and successfully continued in 2021, which allowed us to post growth on the main categories, except sanitizers,” Farmec chief executive officer Mircea Turdean said.

Farmec has invested more than RON37 million in equipment, manufacturing and storage space upgrade, expansion of the vehicle fleet, in its own stores and digitization in the last five years.
