The group, which includes several companies in an integrated system, is one of the leading local meat and meat products groups in Romania. Kosarom also raises 110,000 pigs for slaughter every year.

“This was the highest growth in the last few years. It was because we had better management, the market was better and exports went up. Meat product exports account for about 20% of our revenue,” said Neculai Apostol, founder and strategy and development director of Kosarom Pascani.

Kosarom exports meat products to Germany, Spain and Italy and in Romania sells its products in Kaufland stores and in its retail chain Kosarom.
