Germany’s Preh started operations in Romania in 2008 and increased its headcount 14 times over the past six years.
“This year, we’ve hired 150 people and reached 800 employees. The recruitment process will continue next year, when we plan to hire another 100 people,” Mihaela Forgaciu, general manager of Preh Romania, told ZF Transilvania.
The current capacity of the Ghimbav plant stands at 8 million parts annually and is due to be augmented by another 1 million parts in 2015.
The company reached revenue worth EUR91 million in January-September, 11% above projected figures. For 2014, the company expects total revenue worth EUR122 million, up around 50% on the year.
