In 2022 Inreco Bitumen Romania established a new plant for bitumen emulsion in Sibiu District in Romania. The project started in 2019 with acquiring the 8800 sqm factory site in Ocna Sibiului, Sibiu District.
In 2020 the engineering and application for construction permit was completed. In 2021 Inreco Bitumen Romania received building permit and started assembling the emulsion plant with the necessary facilities. In April 2022, the emulsion production and emulsion delivery started on a regular base. The infrastructure, production plant, facilities and personnel are now working fine and after 30 days from start the company gained contracts and now delivers to 90% of the customers in Sibiu District.
Speaking of challenges, the environmental permission was the most demanding issue, but was solved according to legal requirements in Romania.
