Loading ...The Rombat company, the biggest producer of motorcar batteries in Romania, in 2007 saw a 57 percent increase in the turnover as against 2006, when they posted 30.9 million euros, informs the above-mentioned company.
The representatives of the company estimate that the turnover will amount to about 87 million euros by 2010. “The increase in the turnover last year is the result of the investment programme that was carried out in 2006 when they invested about two million euros. Last year a much larger budget, about 6.5 million euros, was allocated to investments thanks to the ever higher demand for batteries both in Romania and abroad.
This investment will finally lead to the growth of the output by 50 percent. The position of our product has consolidated both on the domestic and foreign markets, a fact that makes us believe that this increase in turnover will be a constant one in the years to come,” said Ioan Repede, managing director of Rombat.
If in Romania the position of the company is quite clear (it accounts for over 55 percent of the domestic market of motorcar batteries), the company increasingly takes up exports. In 2007 the sales for exports increased by 129 percent. Some of the countries to which Rombat products were exported are France, Portugal, Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Austria, Moldova, and Greece, France holding the first place.
Rombat is the sole supplier of batteries for Dacia motorcars and a regional supplier for the motorcar producer Renault.
Rombat SA is part of Rombat Grup, which includes, besides the parent company that produces motorcar batteries, Rombat Automobile in Bistrita (northern Romania), a Volkswagen zonal dealer, in which Rombat holds 76 percent, and Rombat in Copsa Mica (western Romania), a factory for recovering lead from flat motorcar batteries, with 71 percent shares held by Rombat.
The above-mentioned company has been a leader on the Romanian market of motorcar batteries since 1997 and has a 55 percent market share.
