“Part of this growth was organic and part was the result of rising commodities prices, followed by shortages. While a large part of orders go abroad, we are feeling stronger on the local market as well,” says Laurentiu Dumitrescu, sales manager at Peikko Romania.
Finland’s Peikko, a producer of steel structure for buildings, has a plant in Bolintin-Deal, near Bucharest, where it started production in 2019.

In line with the latest data, 80% of Peikko production in Romania is exported to Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Lithuania or Finland.
