Clothing transport stagnates

Birkart Romania, specialised in providing logistic services for the clothing industry, posted a turnover worth 1 million euros in the first six months of the year, indicating a lack of progress from the same period of last year. “The textile field, as well as other segments where payment is made in euros, is currently witnessing a slight drop, but that doesn’t mean that business is doing bad. Currently, the market is actually picking up, due to a less fluctuating foreign currency exchange rate,” Laura Baldi, general manager of Birkart Romania told ZF. According to her, even though production under contract is going down, the Romanian logistics market is constantly developing. “That is in fact why we estimate that in the second part of this year, we will achieve the growth forecast at the beginning of the year. Moreover, we are in negotiations with potential new clients, which will also prompt an increase in our financial indicators,” added Laura Baldi.
