Resilux expands PET preforms factory in Romania
The Belgian plastic and preform bottle manufacturer Resilux plans to expand its factory in northern Bucharest, Romania. This was announced by the Belgian Luxembourg Romanian Moldovan Chamber of Commerce on the social media platform LinkedIn. The expansion plans by about 30% include the installation of a recycled PET (rPET) pellets production line and require an investment of under €3mn.
Resilux owns a plot of land of about 3.7 hectares in the northern parts of Bucharest, where it already operates a PET preforms production facility with a surface of about 10,000 square meters. The new hall will increase the total area of the factory to more than 13,000 square meters.
The raw material for the rPET pellets will be brought from the same group’s units in Hungary. The Romanian factory Resilux Packaging South East Europe, with 55 employees, reported a turnover of €22.5mn in 2021, a historic peak, and a net loss of about €630,000.
Belgian producer Resilux was bought last year by Pascal Vanhalst ‘s family investment fund Quva in a deal that valued the company at €471mn.
