Holcim Romania invests over €5 million in new production line

Business Forum
Holcim Romania has announced an investment of over €5 million in its Turda factory to launch a new production line. 

The investment will support the production and delivery of limestone-based products, including limestone filler for agriculture and zootechny, and will create synergies with the company's existing construction aggregates segment.

“Through this investment, we are not only expanding our product range but also supporting essential industries in Romania with sustainable, locally sourced materials,” stated Bogdan Dobre, CEO of Holcim Romania. “This is a real opportunity to bring value to our customers in the construction sector, as well as in agriculture and zootechny.”

This move marks a significant step in the development of the company's aggregates division. The limestone sand produced will offer a local, sustainable, and competitive alternative to traditional aggregates, primarily targeting producers of dry mortars.
