“Emerson has more than 2,200 employees in Cluj and about 200 jobs available. There are also about 150 employees in Oradea at the moment and we have some 50 openings for factory operators and office staff,” Emerson officials in Romania told ZF Transilvania.
The company has more than 2,350 employees in Cluj and in its manufacturing and support center in Oradea, which started operations last year.
Emerson posted EUR155 million revenue in 2015, an increase of 26% on 2014, because of the start of manufacturing in Oradea, its second plant in Romania. The growth of the business and operations in Cluj made it impossible to expand in the city so Emerson bought land in the Eurobusiness park in Oradea, where it completed construction of a production facility, which started operations in October 2015.
The Emerson Oradea campus includes both manufacturing and support operations for Control Techniques and Leroy Somer and the total investment will reach EUR80 million by 2022, the company said.
Emerson entered Romania in 2006 and its most important step in the development of its local operations was the opening of the plant in the Tetarom II industrial park in Cluj in 2008.
The Cluj and Oradea operations generated EUR34 million revenue in the first quarter of this year.
