Isopor expects 40% increase

The management of the Cluj-based producer of expanded polystyrene Isopor estimates a 40% growth in turnover this year from the approximately 7.8 million euros posted in 2005. The company currently has a production facility in Cluj and a sales unit in Bucharest, with some 30% of its turnover being derived from the sale of its products in Transylvania. Isopor officials estimate their company holds an approximate 30% market share, with their products being sold mainly through direct distribution. “The development seen in the last few years is similar to the one estimated for this year; the decisive factor behind the growth of the insulation market is the development of the constructions market,” stated Ciprian Sildan, manager of Isopor. The output produced in Cluj is entirely destined for the domestic market. ZF
