The total sales of the Rus Savitar – Casa Rusu group (which includes Rus Savitar and Casa Rusu, the retail unit of the furniture maker in Timisoara) stood at EUR28 million in 2013, so this year’s sales should be close to EUR34 million, according to ZF’s calculations based on the company’s growth estimates.

Rus Savitar is one of the largest furniture manufacturers in Romania.

“Our sales grew by 20% in the first three quarters compared with the same time last year, and the trend will continue until the end of 2014. We opened stores in Pitesti and Bucharest this year, so we now have a network of 28 stores,” Marius Raia, general manager of Casa Rusu, told ZF Transilvania.

The group plans to expand by six new stores in 2015, one of which will operate in Carrefour Colentina complex in Bucharest and another in the Cora complex in Bacau.
