Mihnea Baldea, general manager of the company, says 2022 will be a difficult year. “It seems we’re heading toward market contraction, we have zero orders from the clients with exposure to Russia or Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is definitely also boosting inflation”.

The food sector is the strategic industry for Rondocarton, but the company also has clients in the automotive, electronics industries.

The company has a series of investment projects it announced back in 2021. The retooling of Cluj plant and logistic space expansion, internal transport automation and a vertical warehouse in Targoviste are among the projects announced last year.

The company sells 90% of packaging locally. Rondocarton had 620 employees in its three plants last year, in line with the latest data.
