The company’s sales rose 11% year-on-year in the first half, Iancau said without giving additional details.
“2013 is a very important year for us, not only because we want to consolidate our position as the country’s third-largest water bottler, but also because we plan to increase our sale volumes and expand our product portfolio,” Iancau said in a statement.
To this extent, the company has acquired a new production facility in Giurgiu county, southern Romania. Rio Bucovina owns two other factories in Romania, in Vatra Dornei and Timisoara.
The three factories are estimated to produce an aggregate of 400 million of liters of bottled water a year.
