“The new operation in Romania will be an excellent complement to our existing operation in Poland and provide our customers with additional options for their preferred solution,” Janusz Kasprzyk, Vice President European Operations, stated.
The unit will be located near Timisoara airport and will include a 6,000 square meter facility containing multiple production lines. Production employment is scheduled to start in the third quarter of the year, the company said.
Kimball Electronics bought two hectares of land from a realtor in Timisoara, which will also construct the building, real estate market sources told Mediafax. The building will be purchased by the investor upon completion, and the investments are estimated at EUR6-10 million, equipment included.
The company operates in the USA, Mexico, Thailand, Poland and China.
