Romania: Symmetrica says that it will complete construction of its upcoming €50m, 15,000m²/day precast concrete slab and paving stones plant in Bolintin-Vale in Giurgiu in mid-2025. Two solar power plants will together cover 60% of the plant’s power consumption. Three of four lines at the Bolintin Vale plant are reportedly already operational. Once completed, the plant will join nine existing Symmetrica precast concrete products plants and increase the company’s output of these products by 30%. The plant’s product range will include the Symmetrica Select collection of paving stones.

Romania Journal News has reported that Executive Director Sebastian Bobu noted the ‘challenging’ economic situation, but said that “Despite difficulties in the residential sector, we are seeing a clear trend towards higher-quality products, with consumers becoming increasingly attentive to durability, aesthetics and innovation.”
