Commenting on this initiative, Litestructures managing director, Adrian Brooks observed: "Even in these hard economic times, perhaps even more so, Romania remains an attractive area for inward investment. Slatina has many connections with the wider aluminium industry, so we were confident of finding the skills and support we needed for this venture."
Christmas 2008 marks the fifth anniversary of Litestructures' relationship with Romania. The Romanian factory will take over production of Litestructures range of standard products, while the company's home base, in Wakefield, England will now be free to concentrate on custom structures, special projects, new product development and marketing.
