Dairy Processing Plant in Romania

This dairy processing plant, located in Transylvania, Romania, is for sale. Founded in 1994, it has built a solid reputation for product quality and long-term, trusted customer relationships.

Initially, the company specialized exclusively in production for the prestigious DELACO company, but subsequently diversified its operations. In response to growing demand, a network of 26 company-owned stores was opened in 2007.

In 2008, a strategically important project was completed: the construction of a new production complex costing €3.2 million, co-financed by the SAPARD program. The modern plant was completed in 2009, is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and occupies approximately 11,000 m2.

• sour cream
• cheeses
