“BSH (the company conducting the investment i.e.) will begin construction of a washing machine plant in Romania in 2019,” says Irenne Wagner, head of marketing Romania & Bulgaria with BSH Electrocasnice.
BSH had initially planned to start construction of the plant, of a logistics center and of an administrative building this year, but had to postpone until next year for technical and logistics reasons such as the delay in the start of the state aid scheme.
Bosch announced this March it would invest EUR110 million in a washing machine plant in Simeria, for which it should get state aid. The state aid scheme intended to support investments likely to have a major impact on the economy of Romania remained closed in 2017 and no money went to such investments, despite having more than 75% of its budget still available.
