Thus, the company will create 80 new jobs in the production division of the factory, while 80% of the staff has already been recruited.
The factory in Turceni will produce plasterboard using synthetic plaster from power producer CET Turceni, and is the only plant in Romania which uses synthetic plaster resulted from the gas desulphurization process at a thermal power plant, the company said last autumn.
Siniat Romania owns another two plants, in Bucharest (plasterboard production) and in Cluj county (plaster).
Siniat Romania, formerly Lafarge Arcom Gips, became part of Etex group in late 2011, after the latter purchased 80% of Lafarge’s plasterboard division in Europe and Latin America for EUR850 million.
