The factory in the northeastern county of Suceava has a production capacity of 100,000 metric tons of industrial mortars.
Saint Gobain, one of the largest international producers of construction materials, has 1,100 employees and revenue of EUR160 million in Romania, according to the group’s head of Poland, Romania and Bulgaria unit, Francois Xavier Moser.
Tuesday’s plant inauguration is a sign that Saint Gobain plans to strengthen its position on the Romanian market, Moser said.
The Suceava-based plant currently has 9 employees, but its workforce will increase towards 25 people.
