Francois Fourmont, 61, general manager of the Renault group in
Romania (which includes Automobile Dacia and all of Renault’s
Romanian operations), will leave his executive position at the end
of the year and retire, with Jérome Olive, manager of Renault’s
plant in Douai, France, to take over at the helm of Automobile
Dacia, an annual business worth over 2 billion euros. Under
Fourmont’s management, the plant in Pitesti – Mioveni has been
rebuilt, and the Logan project, which originally entailed making
100,000 low-cost cars per year, reached a production capacity of
400,000 units and a six-model range. Fourmont took over at the helm
of Dacia in July 2003, after the departure of Christian Esteve, and
developed Renault’s operations in Romania by building a centre for
exporting unassembled cars (CKD kits) to other plants that
manufacture the Logan model, a gearbox plant, and the Renault
Technologie Roumanie engineering centre. Jér’me Olive, 52, manager
of the Douai plant, will be nominated as Dacia’s manager, and then
as chief executive, at the General Meeting to be held at the end of
November.
