“We will hire about 400 workers and another 100 people for management positions this year. We have several new projects for commercial utility vehicle industry customers at the moment, as well as for other already existing customers,” Leoni Wiring Systems Arad representatives said.
The main customers of the Leoni plant in western Romania are German automakers, as well as other companies in the commercial utility vehicle industry. Leoni makes cables and complete wiring systems for cars and commercial utility vehicles in Arad, which go to Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler and GM, as the company has previously said.
The plant in Arad is operating at capacity now. Leoni Wiring Systems Arad posted more than EUR160 million revenue last year and expects moderate growth in 2015.
Leoni has two more plants in Romania besides the Arad facility, one in Bistrita (Leoni Wiring Systems Ro), and one in Pitesti (Leoni Wiring Systems Pitesti).
