“We gained two new contracts, one in Romania and one in Greece, which will boost turnover. We started building a new plant, on a 2,800-sqm area, which will include four halls and which will produce biodegradable cutlery,” Cosmin Vacariu, Evopack owner, told ZF.
The current plant of Piatra-Neamt has a 950-sqm area and operates four production lines.
“We’re seeking to hire 60 people for the new plant that will be completed this September,” says the entrepreneur.
Evopack produces 7.8 million paper and cardboard packaging units annually. The company buys raw materials from Poland, Ukraine, Finland and Russia.
At present, the company imports biodegradable cutlery from China, but its new plant will produce 25 million cutlery units monthly, due to be sold abroad.
