The new lab has a surface of more than 500 square meters and a staff of 45 specialists.

The company wants to open another two labs by the end of the year.

Marius Manoiu, the group’s development director, recently told MEDIAFAX that Romgermed had started works on a multiple specialty hospital in Bucharest, with 150-250 beds. The company official added the investment would reach EUR20 million. The unit, which includes the lab launched today, is set for completion by the end of 2012.

The group is 95% owned by Dorian Sam Schwartz, while Filip Florin Schwartz holds a 5% stake.
