PalletBiz Romania, our first franchisee, recently opened its brand new production plant in Prejmer Industrial Park as a part of significant production capacity expansion plan of PalletBiz. This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and was implemented with the support of the Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020, Priority Axis 2: improving the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises.
The grand opening, held on June 20, brought together key figures including the company’s board members, local authorities, customers, suppliers, partners, and project builders. The event served as a milestone to celebrate PalletBiz’ achievements and ambitious future plans.
The Prejmer Plant: A Hub for Opportunity
With a total value of 20,000,000 lei or approx. 4 000 000 EUR, the project commenced in December 2021 and culminated in its completion at the end of 2023. Bogdan Manole, the Managing Director of PalletBiz Romania, emphasizes the project’s significance in a recent article in “Capital”, an influential business magazine in Romania: “We want to make an essential contribution to the production sector of wooden pallets and packaging, but also to be present in the local community. Thus, we will create more than 30 jobs, which will ensure the production of approximately 20,000 packaging products per month. All this will significantly improve our presence on the market, building with a solid foundation, the competitiveness of PalletBiz Romania products.”
