By comparison, the group in 2020 posted RON933 million turnover in Romania, slightly up, by less than 1%, from the year before the pandemic.

“In 2021, financial results were in line with global ones, with an organic growth of 10.5%, the biggest in our region. We registered increases along all the categories we operate in and portfolio diversity is the key,” says Silvia Sticlea, country manager at Nestle Romania.

She also says Nestle’s Romanian operations had several consecutive years of growth. In 2014, the company’s turnover revolved around RON650 million and starting the following year the business was always in the black.

“The trend forces us to keep up the pace. For the first quarter of 2022, financial results showed a 12.9% increase, which makes us upbeat”.

Swiss giant Nestle has import and distribution operations in Romania.
