Zalakerámia to move production from Hungary to Romania

Zalakerámia, a Hungarian interior design company, controlled by the Austrian group Lasselsberger, is considering moving some production facilities from Hungary to Romania, very possibly to Cluj, after a series of difficulties that appeared as early as May of last year, when it carried out a collective dismissal.

"There are several factors behind the company's crisis. On the one hand, the measures instituted by the government that affect the producers of construction materials. This includes the extension of the additional mining tax and the new architectural law, which gives the state the right to pre-purchase building materials construction for sale. On the other hand, the attractiveness of the Romanian market. In Romania, the building and construction materials trade industry is flourishing, so that Lasselsberger can bring production closer to demand," said the company.

The Austrian group Lasselsberger is preparing the construction of a factory in Cluj, the total value of the investment being calculated at RON 823 million, of which non-refundable financing requested from the Romanian state of RON 133.2 million.
