“We set out to achieve disciplined growth every year, because we want a steady business, so the annual organic growth target is 6% to 7%. The services market we operate on is on the right track towards maturing, which is why we started investing more in innovation, in new brands, in personnel training,” said Evelina Nastasescu, managing director of Eurest Romania, a company that started operations in 2001.
Eurest Romania management expects RON88 million revenue next year.
The company has foodservice operations (restaurant, bar, cafeteria, coffee shop management, fine dining, vending and catering for conferences), and also provides soft services (industrial and office cleaning, landscaping, security) in Romania.
“We had contracts where we started with catering services and gradually got the cleaning or vending services. We’ve always had to reinvent ourselves at some points in time, in terms of concept and image, to be able to keep up with the customer requirements.”
Its first customer in Romania was the American International School of Bucharest, with which has renewed the contract again and again over 14 years. Eurest will not reveal any other customer names.
