“This year, work is starting on a new investment objective, consisting of a AAC factory in Gorj County. The future factory will have an increased capacity of 1,500 cubic meters per day and will be developed on the basis of the latest concepts in the field, with smart technology. We are also undertaking improvements and modernization of technological flows in the existing AAC and brick factories in Doicești,” Soceram officials told ZF.
The new factory will be located near Targu Carbunesti and require an investment of EUR30 million, they said earlier this year.
Also this year, the company wants to increase the production capacity of the plant opened in Cordun, Neamt County, last year from 1,000 to 1,250 cubic meters per day by expanding the technological flow and installing new equipment.
The investment in the Cordun plant was EUR20 million.
The masonry manufacturer ended 2021 with RON245.8 million revenue, up 45% from the previous year.
Profits, however, fell from almost RON42 million in 2020 to RON34 million last year. The company had an average of 445 employees in 2021, according to the Finance Ministry’s website.
