The new plant is located in Popesti-Leordeni, Ilfov county.
“We have not done it the classic way-open the first production unit, reach the maximum production capacity and then open the second. The opening of the second production unit has been part of our plan since the very beginning, since 2019. Everything has come naturally, as this year we are already nearing maximum production capacity at the plant of Orhideea,” Matei Lucescu, founder of Fabrica Grivita, told ZF.
Around seven employees work at the new unit for the time being, but plans envisage the production team to have around 20 employees.
The plant has a 1,700-sqm area and a production capacity of 200,000 liters per month, namely the equivalent of around 20,000-50,000 hectoliters per annum.
The other production unit, located in Bucharest in Grozavesti-Orhideea area, secures annual production of another 2,000 hectoliters.
