Porta to sell 5m euros in doors

Polish company Porta KMI, one of the largest manufacturers of doors in Europe, has begun production at its Romanian facility after investing more than eight million euros. Sales are estimated at five million euros for this year. “Given the trend on the Romanian door market last year, combined with our plans to achieve a 35-40% market share, a turnover target of five million euros for the factory”s first year in business is a realistic one,” said Daniel Sipu, the company”s commercial representative. The factory, which is located in the industrial area of Arad, takes up 11,000 square metres and has a production capacity of 100,000 doors per month. The output is intended for both the domestic market and export. “The production capacity is too high for the demand on the Romanian market so a part of the output will go to Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine and Russia (…),” added Sipu.
