German company DEHN starts production at first Romanian factory in Pitești

German electrical technology company DEHN has started production at its first manufacturing facility in Romania, located in Pitești. The new plant will supply surge protection devices for European markets and is expected to employ up to 150 people.

The facility, which began operations in July, is part of DEHN's global manufacturing network and complements the company's existing production sites in Neumarkt and Mühlhausen, Germany. While the German factories focus on high-volume, highly automated production, the Romanian site specializes in smaller production runs that require a higher degree of manual assembly, the company said.
