Barbut is replacing Bogdan Pirvu whose term ends Monday, February 29.
“After a year in which I have been involved in finding new business solutions for AdePlast, I think the company is enough stable organically to generate double-digit growth again. Moreover, throughout this time, I have been able to support my three boys and get them to assume more and more complex roles within the company,” said Barbut.
AdePlast’s exports exceeded EUR4 million in 2015, backed by European certifications. AdePlast exports mainly to the Republic of Moldova, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria and Spain, and this year, it has started to export to Great Britain as well.
Barbut said AdePlast targets a double-digit growth in turnover in 2016, which is almost a certainty, adding, however, that it is equally important to keep and even boost its profit quota. In 2015, AdePlast had a turnover of RON305.7 million and a net profit of RON13 million.
AdePlast, the largest building materials producer, has three industrial platforms in Oradea, Ploiesti and Roman.
