Located in Cateasca, Arges County, the new warehouse occupies an area of 10,000 square meters, includes offices and functional areas for new employees and has a storage capacity of 11,500 cubic meters.
“Romania has a strategic role at the intersection of three major markets, making it ideal both as a production hub and as an important center for coordinating logistics activities,” says Murat Büyükerk, chief executive officer of Arctic.
At the same time, the opening of this warehouse aligns with the company’s sustainability strategy, which focuses on reliable, highly repairable products and reducing its carbon footprint.
The hub will initially serve 15 countries in the European Union and eight outside the EU. Later, the network will expand to include other European countries, he added.
Arctic has two plants in Romania, in Gaesti and Ulmi, which make refrigerators and washing machines.
Arctic posted more than RON2.7 billion revenue in 2020 (the latest year for which public data is available), up from RON2.5 billion in 2019, an increase of 8%. The first year of the pandemic was the Ulmi plant’s first full year in operation.
