“A slight rebound of the construction field could be noticed, particularly on the housing segment,” said Nicolae Neag, the company’s commercial manager.
For 2015, the company’s official expects Siceram to post 10% revenue growth, to almost RON75 million (EUR17 million). “The market, particularly the housing one, gave some signs of picking up. It remains to be seen whether these signals will continue this year and whether investments in the state sector will be resumed,” said Neag.
He estimates the local masonry market amounts to around 4.8-5 million cubic meters annually, while the roofing sector has a volume of 18-20 million square meters.
The company has 150 distributors at present. Siceram Sighisoara has budgeted investments worth some EUR2.5 million for this year.
