Romanian company invests EUR 1.25 mln in new fiber optic factory

Datacor, a Romanian integrator of intelligent infrastructure solutions, is investing EUR 1.25 million in the construction of a new fiber optic plant in Bistrita and is expanding its team in the region.

The new Datacor factory is located in the Bistrița-Sud Industrial Park and was partly financed with EU funds.

The factory will start production in January 2021 and will address the following market segments: fiber-to-the-home, data centers, 5G, LANs (Local Area Networks).

“We believe in the future of fiber optics as a central element of IT&C infrastructures for new technologies. No other medium offers the capacity and speed of transmission offered by fiber optics. That's why we chose to invest in the production of pre-connected cables and fiber optic connectivity solutions,” said Calin Brehar, development manager at Datacor.

With this new development, Datacor's goal for 2021 is to launch the company's products on the European market, focusing on Germany and Austria, where there are significant investments in telecom infrastructures.

Datacor is controlled by Romanian entrepreneurs Bogdan and Cristian Bilegan. In 2019, the company had a turnover of EUR 8.8 mln and a team of 70 people.
