“We are investing both in the expansion of our operations, via the acquisition of General Beton, and in boosting existent production capacities through major investments in Holcim and Somaco plants,” says Bogdan Dobre, CEO of Holcim Romania & Market Head Moldova.
General Beton Romania in 2021 reported turnover of around EUR33 million and it has around 160 employees. The company set up the first concrete station in Timisoara, in 1998. It subsequently expanded, to 8 units at present, in the main cities of Romania.
In the wake of the deal, the concrete station network of Holcim Romania will reach 27 units.
Holcim Romania in 2021 boosted turnover by 8% year-on-year, to RON1.7 billion. Profit also rose, to RON317.6 million, a 13% increase, but the number of employees was slightly lower, from 790 in 2020 to 781 last year.
