The company is seeking approval for an expansion project, co-financed by the European Union, which requires an investment of about EUR10 million, said commercial manager Ligian Tudoroiu.
ELJ Automotive Titu produces plastic components for the auto industry and others. Its main client is Automobile Dacia, for which it makes engine cooling systems and body parts.
The company aims to expand its product range for new projects and clients, including the Ford plant in Craiova. “We have become Ford suppliers for the project they will develop starting next year and for the one in 2013. We will produce parts for the engine compartment and body,” said Tudoroiu.
ELJ Automotive will also expand its range of products for the home appliances industry, manufacturing components for vacuum cleaners, electric hand tools or hair dryers, for producers like Kaercher, Steinel and Rubitech.
The company’s clients also include Siemens, Compa, Valeo and Faurecia.
ELJ Automotive, controlled by American investment fund Broadhurst Investments Limited, has 270 employees and expects to end the year with turnover of EUR17 million, 21% more than last year.
