“Despite the general perception and misconception, Romania is becoming one of the most interesting and strategically situated industrial and manufacturing Hub in Europe, being capable of producing high-quality goods, both for local and foreign markets, such as fashion, automotive, software and agricultural products.

During the last 5 years, the country has had a boom in terms of average salaries leading to higher internal consumption, energy, and production capability, together with the country’s well-known long-term strengths: positive energy balance, vast land, well-developed IT sector with one of the highest broadband speed in Europe, making it a good investment option for foreigners, who are willing to relocate their production base.

Thanks to the PNRR, which is a strategic plan that aims to modernize and improve the economy, making it more sustainable, innovative, and competitive, the Romanian infrastructure will soon be connected from Constanta Port directly to the existing Western Europe infrastructures, so one of the most important European corridors will be completed.

Taking into consideration all the facilities that Romania provides, Industries are guaranteed a high and fast return on their investments”, explained Mr. Bellan.

Mantor E2K delivered in 2022 one of the largest leather factories in Europe for a leading Italian fashion company, with an area of ​​over 12,000 sqm. The project built in Sibiu and signed by Architect Guido Canali combines a high level of design (laminated timber structure, circular beams, shed roof), extensive use of vegetation and natural light to provide the highest standards of working environment for over 500 employees.

In 2023 the company has been working on the expansion of an existing and fully operational steel plant owned by the Spanish multinational BAMESA, in Topoloveni (Arges). The design and construction project is fully managed by the company and it has over 4000 sqm. Considering the type of operation carried out in the factory, the project included, among other things, ensuring the improvement of the soil. Mantor E2K designed on top of it a special floor to withstand extremely high loads and use a metal construction system for the structure, that is a way to decrease the environmental impact of the building.

The company becomes part of the European Group E2K present in Italy, France, Germany, and now in Romania. The Group is organised into independent national organisations, in order to offer the best possible support in accordance with local regulations and technical characteristics, guaranteeing a close relationship with its clients (Romanian market for Mantor E2k). This group project involves more than 200 people. A highly qualified international team ensures, day after day, that each project is carried out in compliance with exceptional professional standards.

Romania follows the other countries on the point of sustainability. Mantor E2K is committed to sustainable construction. The objective of the group strategy is to investigate the main variables on which it is possible to act in the design phase of a smart building in order to improve the sustainability of the warehouse and logistics.

The company has a dedicated department to help its clients obtain environmental labels and certifications such as BREEAM, and LEED.

Mantor E2K offers a comprehensive range of services, covering the entire spectrum of industrial and logistic construction. From concept and design to execution, the new entity aims to be a one-stop solution for clients.
