The impact of the crisis on the sales of the manufacturer was mainly felt in Romania and not so much on exports.
Sales abroad stood at RON28.2 million, only 3.5% lower than before the pandemic, while sales in Romania almost halved to RON4.9 million in 2020.
“The steps taken to develop exports led to a broadening of the range of services and transformation of the toll manufacturing system into a semi-toll manufacturing system with a final target, full business. The main business partners are in Sweden, France, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Estonia,” Braiconf officials say in the latest annual report.
Braiconf ended 2020 with RON33.1 million revenue, almost 15% lower than in 2019. The loss widened to RON5.1 million from RON4.3 million the previous year.
Braiconf had 595 employees at the end of last year, more than 100 fewer than in 2019.
