ebm-papst to invest EUR 30 million in new manufacturing plant and R&D center

The German group ebm-papst is accelerating the development of its operations in Romania through a strategic investment of EUR 30 million in a new production facility and a research and development (R&D) center in Oradea, on a 5.5-hectare plot of land acquired from the municipality. Completion of construction is estimated for May 2026.

In the first phase, the project will include a production hall, an office area, a warehouse and a service center that will also integrate an R&D hub, dedicated to the development of air technology. In the future, the company has foreseen the possibility of expanding the construction by another 10,000 square meters.
By 2030, the company aims to double the local workforce, from the current 500 employees to almost 1,000, of which 250 will work in the service center and 750 in production.
