According to Breitsprecher, the group initially planned to build the new unit in the southern city of Craiova, not far from the car plant owned by Ford.
Considering its future development projects, the group decided to build the plant in Pitesti, said Breitsprecher.
Rochling will manufacture engine sound insulation products and air admission kits for carmaker Ford Romania, and plastic gratings for the Renault plant in Bursa, Turkey.
Plant construction works are underway and production is set to start in the second quarter of 2012, when the first investment stage is completed.
Rochling representatives offered no details concerning the second investment stage targeting the unit.
Rochling’s car part unit in Craiova will have up to 60 employees.
The two divisions of Rochling, High Performance Plastics and Automotive Plastics, operate an annual turnover of over EUR1 billion. The German group has 6,000 employees and 54 units in 20 counties.
