“Investments in the new Lidas plant have so far topped EUR80 million and works continue. We are speaking about one of the largest facilities of this type in Europe, completely automated, where equipment has been specially designed for Lidas,” Liviu Store, general manager of Lidas, told ZF.

Lidas in 2022 started building its second bakery factory, in Cataloi, in an investment initially estimated at EUR46 million, with half of the sum coming as state aid.

The company has managed to attract other funding as well, with the investment topping the initial estimate.
