The manufacturer of pavements and curbs Symmetrica announces a new investment in the largest factory of concrete pavements and slabs in the south-eastern area of ​​Europe, worth 48 million euros. The new production unit will be located near Bucharest, in Bolintin Vale, Ilfov county, and will be inaugurated this autumn

“Symmetrica, the leader of the local market of vibro-pressed pavements and curbs and the largest domestic producer, announces a new investment in the largest factory of concrete pavements and slabs in South-Eastern Europe, worth 48 million euros “, informs the company.

The new production unit is located on a plot of over 120,000 square meters and will have a built-up area of ​​18,000 square meters.

“Located in Bolintin Vale – Ilfov, our new prefabricated factory will be a symbol of technological progress. With an impressive surface and extensive production capacities, this unit represents an essential pillar in supporting regional growth and development and incorporates new technologies for the Romanian market”, said Sebastian Bobu, executive director of the company.

It will also have two photovoltaic parks located on a 20,000 square meter plot of land. They will provide about 60% of the total energy required for the operation of the unit. By adopting solar energy, Symmetrica aims to reduce its carbon footprint and promote the use of renewable energy sources.

“The factory in Bolintin Vale will be inaugurated this autumn. Being located near the unit we already own, since 2011, in the vicinity of the Capital, we decided to migrate the activity from it to the new location, thus optimizing the entire production”, said Sebastian Bobu.

The necessary investment, in the amount of 48 million euros, was secured both from own funds and through bank loans. In this sense, Symmetrica contracted a loan worth around 35 million euros from Banca Comercială Română (BCR), a member of Erste Group.

Having 4 manufacturing lines in the first phase, the factory in Bolintin Vale will also have lines for processing surfaces and special treatments as well as for splitting concrete blocks. One of the most notable features of this factory is the integration of the most modern production technology of concrete pavers and slabs.

“The new technologies incorporated in this production unit will give us the opportunity to expand our product portfolio and launch new ranges, with unique specifications on the local market, both in terms of design and properties. The 4 lines that will be put into operation in the first phase will be used for the production of pavers, slabs, curbs, gutters”, emphasized the representative of Symmetrica.

Also, the factory that will be inaugurated this fall will contribute to increasing Symmetrica’s total production by 30%, having a capacity of 15,000 square meters per day. Looking back, with this new factory, in the 30 years since its establishment, Symmetrica has made investments that, in total, exceed 110 million euros.
