Fuchs Condiments Romania announced a significant new investment in Argeș County, celebrating a major milestone in the company’s evolution – it is currently the largest producer of spices and food ingredients in the Romanian market. On Wednesday, September 6, Fuchs presented, at a small event attended by local government and administration representatives, the expansion project of the Curtea de Argeș production unit, which it considers a crucial milestone in its business development.
“This expansion symbolizes our determination to strengthen our market leadership in Romania and, at the same time, expand our business internationally. With this investment, we underline our commitment to providing our customers with products and services of the highest quality and innovation,” said Nils Meyer-Pries, CEO of the Fuchs Group.
With ambitious growth goals and a focus on the brand and private label business, Fuchs will allocate 14 million euros – its own investment – to expand the logistics and production center, nearly doubling its capacity: from the current 11,084 square meters to 21,338 square meters. The new production hall will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including a new spice mixing facility.
Additionally, the investment will enable the company to expand its product portfolio.
“This strategic decision contributes to diversifying the range and consolidating the company’s position in the local market,” emphasizes Uwe-Jens Karl, Managing Director of Fuchs Condiments Romania, the importance of the project.
Construction of the new logistics and production center begins in September and is scheduled to be completed in August 2024. Furthermore, the new factory will play a strategic role in automating production processes.
“This is crucial to meet the growing demand and lay the foundation for profitable and sustainable growth,” adds Karl.
