“(…) There will be 130 jobs overall, we are already staring to hire people for the new plant,” stated Adrian Garofeanu, Knauf Insulation CEO.
Knauf Insulation bought the former mineral wool plant Gecsat SA of Tarnaveni last March.
In the first stage, completed in 2022, the company invested over EUR4 million to retool the existing plant in a bid to bolster mineral wool production.
The new plant will have an annual production of over 75,000 tons of mineral wool, both for the local market and for CEE markets.
Knauf Insulation boosted its local turnover by over 40% last year from 2021. It reached RON133 million turnover in 2022, from RON95 million in the previous year.
