CMC Baia Mare sets sight on 2.5m-euro turnover

Baia Mare-based CMC Company, a company that extracts marble to make ornamental plaques, estimates its turnover will reach 2.5 million euros this year. “Compared with the first eight months of 2003, we have seen 30% sales growth this year, a trend we are certain will continue in 2005. The last two years have been very interesting in terms of performance on the domestic market,” said Victor Florean, CMC Baia Mare’s chief executive and owner. The company doubled its turnover in 2003, with sales of more than 47bn (1.2bn euros) and net profits of 1.9bn ROL. CMC will open offices in Timisoara, Bucharest, Craiova and Constanta in 2005. Its sales network currently covers Transilvania and Iasi County. “The offices are chiefly intended for the individuals and companies that build houses and office buildings,” Florean said. The company sells 85% of its output domestically; it exports to the EU, Switzerland and the Republic of Moldova. ZF
