Paint and varnish manufacturer EVOLOR, owned by ROCA Industry, inaugurates a new high-performance production facility, on Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea industrial platform, following an investment of EUR 3 million.
The decorative plaster factory on the Oltchim platform is expected to generate, in the first full year of activity, a production of approx. 10,000 tons of decorative plasters, mosaic plasters and plaster primers.
EVOLOR’s new production facility has an area of 3,776 square meters and includes high-performance and robotic operational capabilities, and a new research and development laboratory.
Robotic lines, already in operation, worth more than half a million euros, facilitate the safe and modern packaging of products for long-distance transport and reduce the possibility of their damage in the distribution chain.
At the same time, the new unit will increase the production capacity of decorative plasters by 15%, increasing the storage capacity of bulk powders by 50%, which will lead to a significant reduction in the amount of paper waste.
Also on Oltchim platform, the company aims, in the coming years, to develop a new production section of washable paints, a production section of ecological varnishes and enamels and a logistics center for the distribution of finished products.
For this purpose, EVOLOR purchased 6 plots of land with a total area of 13,518 sqm, in addition to the initial investment in the hall and the related land of 12,321 sqm. Currently, the total area intended for the development of operations is 25,839 sq m.
