The manufacturer based in Pantelimon (Ilfov County, near Bucharest) is progressing fast towards the RON100 million milestone and the RON135 million target it set out to reach by 2020.
Franco del Fabbro, the Italian executive who has been running Heidi Chocolat for two years, said that the manufacturer also intended to reach a 10% share of the chocolate tablet market, compared with 7% last year.
Heidi inaugurated 1,000 square meters at its plant in Pantelimon last year, following a RON7 million investment, with owner Julius Meinl V attending the inauguration. The investment allowed it to expand production capacity. The plant exports more than half of its production, mainly to UK, China, Poland and Canada. (EUR1=RON4.5341)
