The company has a slaughterhouse, a plant and 17 own stores, covering Iasi, Suceava, Botosani and Neam counties, and a car fleet made up of over 30 cars. It produced 10-15 tons of cold cuts per day and around 30% of total production was exported to countries such as England, Scotland, Ireland or Italy, but because of falling sales, production also slid.

“We hope the pandemic will end shortly so that we can sell as it’s very difficult for us to pay our employees, who also want wage hikes as prices have gone up for everything,” said Alexandru Scheul, the company’s owner.
