Emerson’s Leroy-Somer and Control Tehniques employ about 365 people in Cluj-Napoca and Oradea.
“Emerson’s operations in Oradea will be transferred in full to Nidec,” Emerson officials told ZF Transilvania.
Nidec has recently acquired the electric motor plant ANA Imep in Pitesti (Arges County, southern Romania) from the Copos family in a deal put at EUR10 million to EUR20 million.
“We are working closely with Nidec to ensure a smooth transition for both employees and customers.”
About 150 people work for Leroy-Somer in Cluj and about 215 for Leroy-Somer and Control Tehniques in Oradea, the Emerson officials added.
Emerson inaugurated the plant in Oradea this May, its second production facility in Romania, following an about $25 million investment. Its initial plan for the facility was to create 2,500 jobs and invest $105 million by 2022.
