The investment tops EUR50 million and is the first such project started by an international player in the past 30 years. The future plant is located in Aries Industrial Park and part of the investment is supported by Romanian authorities via state aid worth EUR21 million.
The new production and assembly unit will initially include 9 last generation technological lines for capsules and tablets, with a capacity of 100 million packages per year. The total area of the new unit covers approximately 30,000 square meters and enables a fast expansion of production lines up to 12.
The entire area of the acquired land plot stands at 100,000 square meters and also allows for subsequent development of production facilities depending on market demand and the company’s ongoing development needs.
“Stada is developing in Turda the first pharmaceutical plant built from scratch in Romania by an international company, thus paving the path for Romania’s turning into a major player in the European pharma sector, also securing the supply chain in this strategic field. We chose Turda as it’s a locality at the heart of a key region for Stada group,” underscores Mihai Fugarevici, general manager of Stada Romania.
