The expansion is designed to meet growing domestic demand and support the company's export goals. This new facility will be the second factory for the group. The investment is financed by the equity capital of the London-based investment fund Cornelius H Group, which owns Dulcinella, with plans to also apply for European funds. 

The first phase of the investment, valued at €2 million, has already been allocated by shareholders, and construction is underway.

Sergiu Diaconu, CEO of Dulcinella Group, said: "We have undertaken this investment not just as an expansion, but as a step up - we want to produce more, but with the same high standards that we have set for ourselves from the beginning."

This expanded capacity will allow Dulcinella to enter international markets with large volumes and better serve national retail demand. The second phase of the investment, scheduled for 2026, will further boost production to 600 tonnes of finished products per month.

The new facility will also incorporate sustainability measures, with photovoltaic panels set to cover up to 60% of energy needs, along with process water recycling and eco-friendly packaging. 

The production team is expected to grow from approximately 45 employees to over 150-200 as new production lines become operational.
