Description
The Romanian subsidiary of the Italian manufacturer of home electric appliances De’Longhi Romania announced its plans to create 375 new jobs at its new Satu Mare plant by the end of 2022. The new plant is financed thorough a €28 million greenfield investment, half of which is state aid.
In February 2022 De'Longhi Romania acquired an industrial building in Satu Mare. The new factory will produce automatic coffee machines.
Currently, De'Longhi employs 2,979 workers in Romania.
The Italian company entered the Romanian market in 2012. In 2013, it started producing espresso machines at the Jucu plant (Cluj County). The second plant was opened in 2020 in Madaras (Bihor county).
