Macon invests 7m euros to upgrade manufacturing

Deva-based Macon, a manufacturer of construction supplies, announced a 7 million-euro investment budget for this year, which will be used to upgrade manufacturing processes and improve the quality of the aircrete, basalt cotton and prefabricated concrete slabs. The company in Hunedoara forecasts turnover worth approximately 50 million euros, which accounts for a 25% increase in financial indicators, compared with last year. “Considering the market of construction supplies is now very dynamic, rising and competitive, we have to maintain the upward trend of Macon sales by improving the quality of our products,” explains Marius Marin, general manager of Macon. Macon officials say the factors that will drive the growth of the construction materials market this year will be the allocation of funds for infrastructure projects, as well as for local and regional development, the monetary stability, the foreign investments in Romania and the improved living standards.
