The new plant has a “white room”, namely a lab with a controllable level of polluting factors, where electronic products can be manufactured and tested.
The company’s investment is also aimed at setting up a competence center meant to certify equipment and materials manufactured in Central and Eastern Europe in terms of compliance to cleanliness standards.
The project was carried out jointly with the Fraunhofer Institute of Suttgart and benefited from structural funds of around EUR10 million.
Microelectronica is also involved together with the Fraunhofer institute in the creation of a photovoltaic panel plant. The panels will be more efficient than those available on the market and will be used in fields where energy independence is important, for instance in agriculture. The project seeks funding through the European “Strategy for the Danube Region” facility.
According to information sent to RASDAQ, Microelectronica generated revenue of nearly 3 million lei in 2013. The company is controlled by Roxana Jalba.
