The German group continues to invest in Romania five years after inaugurating the facility, which generated more than EUR36 million revenue last year, up almost 50% year-on-year. Profit rose six-fold to EUR3 million in 2013.
“We will continue to make electronic control units in the Brasov plant,” says Hartmut Hohaus, general manager of Miele Tehnica.
In preparation for the new phase of development, a new electronic control unit line will be integrated at the Miele plant in Brasov by yearend. The new investment stands at about EUR1 million, he added.
Hohaus has been running the plant since inauguration in 2009. The reasons for the new investment are the experience Miele Tehnica has in electronic subassembly manufacturing and the very good results of the plant in Brasov, he explained. The new investment will also create new jobs, but it is too soon to say exactly how many, the Miele official added.
