According to Popa, Transavia posted “fairly substantial” profit each year.
The company produces between 50,000 and 60,000 tons of meat per year and further development would mean new acquisitions or starting new investments from scratch, Popa added.
Over the past seven years, Transavia has made investments worth over EUR60 million. The company’s investment plan for 2013, financed with its own revenue resources, exceeds EUR8 million.
Popa expects Transavia’s profit and turnover will both increase this year.
The company registered sales of 426.9 million lei (EUR95.8 million) in 2012, up 19% on the year, and 28% higher net profit, of RON33.7 million (EUR7.5 million).
Exports accounted for roughly 15% of its total turnover. Transavia exports products mainly to the UK, France, Spain and Croatia.
Transavia Group, which also includes poultry processor Avicola Brasov, produces about 50,000 tons of meat per year.
According to Popa, Transavia has a market share of 20%.
