The deal between MP Baneasa, a company that moved production to Buftea two years ago, and the German retailer marks the end of an almost three-decade production history at the plant located close to Baneasa passageway.
The 12,000 square meters acquired by Lidl are valued at EUR4 million, according to ZF calculations.
“We are cleaning up the land. We moved production from there two years ago,” said Nicolae Enachiuc, MP Baneasa director, without making any further comments on the issue.
Lidl representatives did not answer ZF’s request for details on the deal.
The move is just one of a series of similar events in the wake of which industrial units that shaped up Bucharest’s economy in the past were turned into malls, office buildings, housing compounds and hypermarkets.
