“In late 2021, we got the greenlight for a state aid of around EUR3.5 million, conditioned on the creation of another 200 jobs. By end-August, we will boost the production capacity of Bacau plant from 700 windows to around 2,000 windows per day. We are thus concluding a EUR14 million investment in machinery and new production areas,” says Adrian Garmacea, owner of Barrier.

Barrier ended 2021 with EUR23 million turnover, up around 10% on the year, and a 7% profit margin. Its number of employees reached 400.

The company has around 50 franchises operating both in Romania and abroad.
