Lubrifin completes factory outside Brasov

Brasov-based Lubrifin SA concluded investments in an industrial oil factory located at the entrance to the town of Cristian. As European directives prohibit polluting industries from operating inside major urban conurbations, a few years ago Lubrifin began an investment programme that will result in the relocation of its production capacities to outside the city of Brasov. The first stage, costing 16 million euros, entailed the relocation of the oil factory. “The production capacity of the new factory reaches 30,000 tonnes/year; the new facility was built from scratch by French ABB-Cellier,” Ioan Costea, Lubrifin’s chief executive said. The new facility, which can make more than 140 industrial, mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic oils for engines will at first employ 80 people. ZF
