“Early in 2020 we saw an increase in the volume of orders but once the coronavirus pandemic came, we experienced problems with material suppliers,” said Francesco Curcio, chief executive officer of Pinum Doors & Windows.
The delivery shortages forced Pinum to halt production in certain departments of its plant. The problem did not hurt its sales, because it had a sizeable product inventory and was able to the fill all the orders, especially those from real estate developers. Products made in Romania are now in high demand, the official added.
Pinum, which has a plant in Pipera, Bucharest, posted EUR14.3 million revenue in 2019.
It saw growth in sales early this year, but given the circumstances, it hopes to end the year with about the same revenue as last year, Francesco Curcio said.
