Germany’s Leoni Wiring Systems has opened its 10th factory in western Romania, at Beius (Bihor County), after an EUR17.5m investment to refurbish an outdated industrial facility and equipment.
More will be spent training the workforce, expected to reach 1,200, romania-insider.com reported.
“Overall, we have 180,000 square metres of production space, and we are among the top exporters at the national level, the largest employer in Bistrita-Nasaud and among the largest employers in Romania, with over 12,000 active employees,” Leoni country manager Andrada Verdes told Bursa.ro.
“Also, since 2016 we have a shared services centre in Cluj which serves several of the functions of the group we are part of.”
The new plant in Beius is dedicated to the production of wiring systems for commercial vehicles.
