“The need to connect the population to the sewerage system, given that only 55.8% of the Romanian population has their homes connected to such a system (in line with statistics data), shows a high need for dedicated products. That’s why we focused our efforts on expanding our business in this direction, in order to put into operation production lines for sewer elements in our factories from Arad (Zimandu Nou) and Bistrita-Nasaud (Cociu),” said Symmetrica executive director Sebastian Bobu said.
Located on a two-hectare land, the plant in Suceava currently has 12 employees and has drawn an investment of EUR2 million. With the new plant, Symmetrica reaches eight production units in Romania.
Also, Symmetrica allotted almost EUR1.5 million for expansion works at its factory in Brasov, which now has a production hall for elements needed for sewerage systems.
At the moment, with three production facilities dedicated to sewerage systems products, Symmetrica has a total production capacity of 120,000 items annually.
As per the company’s estimates at end-2021, Symmetrica ended 2021 with a turnover in line with early-year forecasts, i.e., an increase of 10% versus 2020, when it reported a turnover of RON162.2 million and a profit of RON17.1 million. Symmetrica has reached 530 employees, of whom more than 300 work in production.
