“We want to double the warehouse capacity, build a similar unit. For the time being, we are in a research, budgeting phase. Things are quite uncertain as regards building materials,” said Laura Teposu.

She added starting mid-2021 it’s been very hard for the company to budget the investment, initially estimated at EUR3 million. A decision on the investment is most likely to be made in the second half of 2022.

Libris has a 5,000-sqm book warehouse in Brasov, with an over 1 million-book storage capacity. The company, now having 120 employees, logs monthly sales of 300,000-400,000 books and in 2020 posted turnover of almost RON66 million, in line with the latest data available.

Libris has an online store, but also a physical bookstore in Brasov.
