“In Romania, we’ve been creating added value since 2003, with three plants and more than 1,000 employees. We’re past the EUR100 million investment mark in the last ten years (…),” said Heineken Romania’s managing director Boris Miloushev, who attended the celebratory event of the 55th anniversary of the plant in Craiova, which Heineken got in 2003.
Heineken also pays more than EUR90 million in taxes ever year, and the money goes back to consumers and its employees, as well as to the government and the community, he added.
It has three breweries in Romania, in Craiova, Miercurea Ciuc and Ungheni, Mures County. The plant in Craiova is its largest in Romania, with a production capacity of 2 million hectoliters a year. It started with a capacity of 400,000 hectoliters in 1970. This is where Heineken makes Golden Brau, Heineken (which accounts for about 10% of the 2 million hectoliter production capacity) and has recently added Amstel. The Craiova brewery alone has got more than EUR30 million investment in the last ten years.
