The January-September revenue of the trader owned by Campina (southern Romania) businessman Augustin Oancea is almost as high as the entire 2012 revenue.

The electricity Tinmar Ind sells will reach more than 350 end consumers in 2014. Its most important clients are Renault-owned Automobile Dacia carmaker, Romania’s largest exporter, Kronospan and Interagro.

“We’ll keep the upward trend,” says George Voicu, the company’s supply manager.

Tinmar Ind went into electricity trading early in 2007. In its first year in this business it posted some EUR30 million revenue, which increased to EUR311 million in 2012. The company had 59 employees last year.

Besides power supplying, Tinmar Ind is also one of the biggest owners of photovoltaic parks in Romania, having invested EUR80 million in this business. (EUR1=RON4.4518)
