Pangram sales worth 8m euros

Pasta company Pangram SA Resita posted turnover worth 8 million euros last year, up 28% from the previous year, and forecasts 11 million euros for 2004. “We have also been working with Unilever for the past three months, delivering pasta for the Knorr soups,” says Ioan Popa, general manager and one of the two main shareholders of Pangram. The company’s main brand is Monte Banato, which accounted for a 28% market share last year, in line with AC Nielsen research quoted by Popa. Pangram holds a production unit in Resita, with a 50-tonne capacity, which has made about 100,000 tonnes of pasta last year. ZF
