Fornetti: boosts capacity to meet demand on the Balkans

Kecskemet / HU. (wib) Fornetti Frozen Bakers Products and Trading Ltd. plans to boost its monthly production capacity by 250 to 300 tons at its Kiskunfélegyháza plant, «Portfolio.hu» (citing «Napi Gazdaság») has reported.

The company is to put into operation two new production lines and expand staff by 30 to 40 people over the next three weeks. The expansion is necessary to satisfy ever-growing demand on the Romanian and Bulgarian markets, Fornetti´s managing director József Szabó told Napi Gazdaság.

The Timisoara-based Fornetti plant, which was built in 2005 at a cost of 3,5 million Euro, cannot keep up with the demand for the company´s products in Romania, Fornetti´s most dynamically growing market. Therefore, the Kiskunfélegyháza unit has pitched in a few months ago, delivering to Romania, as well.

Fornetti has established a subsidiary in Bulgaria earlier this year, but it is currently involved only in trading and doubles sales every three months. The company, which was founded by master baker József Palásti in 1997, carries out substantial developments in Hungary as well, in the value of around four million Euro.
