Business Forum
ELBI Group, comprising ELBI Electric & Lighting and ELBI Energy Projects, announced a consolidated turnover of approximately RON 556 million (€111.7 million) for 2024.

This year, the group is aiming to grow by 10% in turnover, with a focus on digitalization, expanded logistical capacities, and green solution investment.

ELBI Electric & Lighting significantly contributed, with a 5% increase in turnover compared to 2023, driven by demand for lighting solutions and green energy products.

The group reinforced its national presence in 2024, expanding to 15 locations across major Romanian cities. Further expansion is planned for 2025, with new openings planned in Baia Mare, Bacău, and potentially Bucharest. 

ELBI also advanced its digitalization efforts by implementing a cross-docking system in Eastern, Central, and Western regions, which has successfully reduced delivery times and boosted operational competitiveness. 

Additionally, the group is expanding its warehouse space at P3 Bucharest A1 logistics park by 4,000 sqm to enhance supply chain efficiency and product offerings.

The group also reported a 15% increase in employees and a 5% rise in its customer base in 2024.
