“We furloughed employees on April 1. There are several areas that are severely affected, which used to be very good for us in terms of orders, such as Suceava and Italy. We are still getting orders from developers of large projects in Romania and are working on several projects with the government,” says owner Adrian Garmacea.
The number of orders is going down, Garmacea says, and he expects the number of employees coming to work next week to be even lower.
“I expect a rebound in May. We don’t want to freeze production completely because there are sectors where we work at normal capacity, such as the aluminum product department, which works for large real estate projects, so we are still getting orders for such products.”
Electric Plus posted RON133 million revenue in 2019, 6% higher than in 2018, the company said.
It has about 600 employees in all, working in production, sales, distribution, marketing, franchise development.
