This is the company’s first year in the red in at least the last two decades. On the other hand, Derpan’s revenue reached a record high of more than RON125 million, following a 27% increase. Compared with 2023, the company doubled its revenue. This result was achieved with the help of 420 employees, almost 90 more than the average number of employees in 2024.

Derpan is a manufacturer established by the Ancuta brothers in Galati in the early 2000s. In 2022, the two decided to sell the business to Golden Food Snacks, the group held by the Mitzalis family. Golden Food Snacks has recently rebranded Derpan’s products, which are now available under the Elmas brand, well-known in the seeds and peanuts category.
