Global Vision continues its planned development of Craiova Business Park by welcoming a major new tenant. The new project reinforces Craiova and Dolj County as a focal point for high-value manufacturing and innovation in the southern part of Romania.
Diehl Aviation’s new facility will be built on a 33,500 square meter plot, within the Craiova Business Park. The facility will include a 12,000 square meter building, with 2,500 square meters dedicated to Class A+ office space. Backed by a mid-double-digit million-euro investment, the project will be delivered by Global Vision as a turnkey development, including shell & core, structural works, and full interior fit-out. The facility is scheduled for completion within 12 months, with the groundbreaking marking the official start of construction today.
“For Global Vision, this collaboration represents a key achievement in our investment fund’s portfolio, reflecting our commitment to supporting high-impact, forward-looking projects that drive regional growth and economic resilience. We are excited to be part of this journey and look forward to seeing Diehl Aviation’s success flourish in Craiova!,” said Sorin Preda, CEO & Founder, Global Vision.
Diehl Aviation, a leading global partner in the aviation industry, has more than 5,400 employees and supplies components to large aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. Diehl Aviation’s new facility in Craiova will produce components for commercial aircraft.
“Our new facility in Craiova represents a strategic investment in Diehl Aviation’s future. The combination of an excellent location, skilled talent, and strong local partners enables us to continue delivering high-quality and competitive products.
