“There is this intention pending the analysis of the insulation market of Romania, which has witnessed ongoing growth in recent years. The opening of a new line can lead to at least a doubling of the existent production capacity,” say Rockwool representatives.

The final decision depends on several external and internal factors, they add.

At present, Rockwool’s maximum production capacity stands at 45,000 tons of mineral water per annum.

At the plant of Aricestii Rahtivani and in its Bucharest offices, Rockwool has 177 employees.

In line with the latest data available, Rockwool in 2021 generated RON174 million turnover. At the end of the first quarters of 2022, it had posted 70% growth.
