2008 marked a successful year in Romania

2008 was the most successful year since the start of construction activities in Romania in 2002. Between 2003-2007 work on 40 kms of intra-urban track construction commenced in Timisoara; more than 5 million €/p.a. of turnover were generated. Turnover figures for the projects in Iasi and Bucharest rose to more then 20 million Euros in 2008. Orders on hand in 2009 already add up to more than 10 million Euros, this could therefore result in another successful year.
