“The acquisition of this plant helps me very much on the logistic side and on that of delivery terms for partners and end-clients,” explained Ciprian Marcu, founder and CEO of Caretta.
The story of the Craiova plant is the more interesting as it started more than 15 years ago from Romanian entrepreneurs.
In 2008, Poland’s metallic tile producer Blachy Pruszynski bought Romania’s VikingProfit from Radu Mircescu and Marius Ghenea, that is a plant in Craiova and one in Filipestii de Padure, Prahova county.
Now, entrepreneur Ciprian Marcu bought one of Viking Prusynzki’s plants, plus the adjacent warehouse.
Caretta turnover reached EUR12 million in 2023, down around 9% from 2022, and for 2024 the company targets an increase of at least 15%. The Iasi unit employs 120 persons, while the Craiova one has around 15 employees.
