Symmetrica, the manufacturer of pavement and borders, announced on Tuesday that it would invest 10 million euros to modernize Veresti factory, Suceava, the first production unit of the company, inaugurated in 1999. The upgrading works will influence the overall production capacity of the company. In fact, this production unit will serve the north-eastern area (Moldova) but Select products will be manufactured here will reach other country areas too. “Veresti production unit was our first factory, which after 1999 went through several modernization stages over the years. However, after 23 years of functioning and in the present market context we decided to invest a lot and completely change production lines,” said Sebastian Bobu, executive manager of Symmetrica. The factory from Suceava county operated through two production lines, of big and medium capacities. Once upgrading works are completed, the two lines will be replaced by other lines of superior capacity. At the same time, halls and the office area will be modernized. “The decision to make this investment came in the context in which the market in the north-eastern part of the country matured in the last years and is more interested in high quality products with strong architectural impact. We also noticed that demand exceeded local production capacity and this investment became a necessity,” Bobu added. Thus, new production lines installed at Veresti factory will insure a 50% higher production capacity, compared to the old ones. They will include state of the art technology with major impact on increased productivity. For that reason, the share of Select products of premium quality and complex design will grow in overall production.
