French group Saint-Gobain has successfully launched its second plasterboard production plant in Turda, central Romania. This milestone follows extensive production tests initiated at the end of last year and the completion of a detailed handover program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new line, which represents an investment exceeding EUR 50 million, spans 14,000 sqm and includes advanced equipment for grinding, calcinating, plate forming, drying, and stacking plasterboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This modern technology enhances production speed and capacity while prioritizing energy efficiency, aligning with Saint-Gobain’s commitment to sustainable building materials. The new line operates with lower specific energy consumption for both calcination and drying processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This new line, operating at optimal parameters, marks a significant step towards enhancing our production efficiency and expanding our product range to better serve our growing customer base,” said Ovidiu P\u0103scu\u021biu, CEO of Saint-Gobain Group in Romania.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The increased production capacity is expected to create over 100 new jobs, boosting local and regional economic opportunities. Additionally, Saint-Gobain plans to explore exporting products manufactured in Turda to neighboring countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saint-Gobain continues to strengthen its presence in Romania, employing around 2,000 people across 14 industrial sites.<\/p>\n
