Ferrero to open first Romanian production plant in Timișoara

The Italian confectionery group Ferrero is planning to establish its first production unit in Romania. The company is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to acquire an existing location in Timișoara to create a state-of-the-art industrial facility.

While Ferrero is already present in Romania through its sales subsidiary, Ferrero România, which employs 120 people and reported revenues of 1.9 billion lei last year, the group does not currently operate any active manufacturing plants in the country. The company cited Romania’s strategic position, skilled workforce, and strong manufacturing tradition as key factors for the investment. Ferrero has stated that more information will be provided at an appropriate time.
