Henkel Romania, the domestic unit of Germany's Henkel group, is set to open a new adhesives plant in September in Campia Turzii, with the total value of investments to revolve around 10m euros. The German group is thus operating the first investment outside Bucharest after having pumped some 10m euros in a plant in the locality of Pantelimon near Bucharest, where it produces adhesives for ceramic tiles, hydro-insulation and thermal insulation systems, sealants and flooring products. In Campia Turzii, Henkel will manufacture adhesives for the Ceresit range and, according to estimates made by specialists, approximately 20,000 tonnes of adhesives per month will be produced. Around 100-200 people are likely to be hired at the plant, given that the Bucharest unit, which has a similar capacity, employs around 260 people, including administration staff. Henkel has invested approximately 7m euros exclusively in the construction of the hall, which will cover an area of 29,800 square metres. Investments in equipment related to the production process are in addition to the 7m euros, taking total costs to around 10m euros, according to Alexandru Murgu, in charge of the site of the future Henkel plant. Henkel has acquired a 40,000-sqm land plot in the industrial area of Campia Turzii and is considering an expansion of the production activity in the area. Henkel Romania officials have only specified that they plan to open the unit by mid-September 2007.
