Construction will begin in 2021 and will be completed in 2023," said Tudor Georgescu, director of Promateris, according to Ziarul Financiar.

The company produces packaging made from renewable, biodegradable, and compostable materials and already has a factory in Buftea, near Bucharest, where it produces sustainable alternatives to disposable plastic.

Promateris is listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange and has a market capitalization of  RON 59 mln (EUR 12 mln).

Romanian businessman Florin Pogonaru, together with a group of companies he owns and individual investors, controls over 90% of the company's shares, according to the latest data. Pogonaru also heads the Association of Business People in Romania (AOAR).
