“We found two partners with high potential who want to work with us, while other traditional partners registered sales growth,” Robert Post, general manager with VEKA Romania said Wednesday.
Post is leading VEKA operations in ex-Yugoslavian countries, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
VEKA operates on the local market through VEKA Romania but equally makes direct sales to its partners.
The group has 75 active partners on the local market, Post added.
He also said the local market of thermal insulating PVC carpentry will stagnate in 2012, at around EUR300 million. PVC window profiles account for a third of this value.
The Romanian market is 80% focused on the lowest price but there is another client segment targeting high-quality products, Post said.
Most of the company’s clients are private entities, as it did not get involved in the country’s national thermal insulation program developed by local authorities due to the price pressure, he also said.
VEKA group eyes EUR850 million sales in 2012 and operates in 26 countries with 14 production units.
