Scandia Cons spends 15m euros on cold cuts plant

Meats producer Scandia Cons from Sibiu will invest 15 million euros to build a charcuterie plant outside of Sibiu. The plant will be completed next spring and will cover a surface area of over 17,000 square metres. “The new production centre answers the company’s need to modernise,’ says Gabriela Handorean, general manager of Scandia Cons. According to company representatives, the investment will be funded from the company’s own resources, as well as 2 million euros in Sapard funding. “The new facility will produce self-branded cold cuts and canned meat under Scandia Romana licence,” informs the company. According to company representatives, there are only commercial ties between Scandia Cons with Scandia Romana, the company that produces pate varieties under the Sibiu and Bucegi brands, which recorded a turnover of 38 million euros in 2005.
