Charcuterie producer Angst Ro last year posted $25m sales, up 35% since the previous year. In euros, the increase was about 12%. Estimates for this year point to $30m sales. “We do not have a nationwide distribution network, but we do have a solid position in Bucharest, where we are market leaders, and in Transilvania. The charcuterie market went very well last year, even though the meat consumption dropped,” says Stefan Padure, sales manager of Angst Ro. The company owns 18 stores, with three more units to be opened this year. According to Padure, Angst accounts for 3.3% of the Romanian market. ZF
