“(…) we have invested time and a substantial budget in our own meat production center in Ștefanesti, where we are constantly developing new products, adapted to each season and to market trends. We wanted a location (…) with a large production capacity that guarantees a constant flow of goods,” said Adrian Ariciu, CEO of METRO Romania.
He did not provide details on the value of the investment or total processing capacity.
Metro will process red meat in its new facility, but will also continue to work with other producers, some of which from other countries.
Metro Cash&Carry Romania posted sales of RON7.3 billion last year, 19% higher than in 2020. Net profit fell 16% to RON65.3 million.
