The Rockwool Group, a world leader in the production of basaltic mineral wool, has opened the first factory in Romania, an investment worth 50 million euros. It has a capacity of approximately 45,000 tons per year, being the largest unit of profile. The factory is located in the Ploieşti West Park industrial park, near Ploiești.
The Rockwool products, used especially for building insulation, will be delivered mainly locally, with Romania being one of the largest insulation markets in Europe. Part of the production will go to export, especially in countries close to Romania.
“The Rockwool factory started commercial production, at the end of a one-year construction effort. Now we can proudly say that we have the first Rockwool basalt wool ‘made in Romania’. Our customers will have quality products, but they will be delivered faster. We know they are expecting this and we expect an increasing demand in the future. Our main goal is to create safe solutions for all types of applications, deliver products that are fire-resistant, non-combustible, contribute to energy efficiency and are fully recyclable, which supports the circular economy and minimizes the impact on the environment ”, a said Florin Popescu, Business Unit Director, Rockwool Balkans.
About 150 people work in the Rockwool factory, most of them from Prahova County. By the end of the year, the total number of Rockwool employees in Romania should exceed 170 people. Indirectly, the factory should bring in another 300 jobs in services and logistics.
The raw material for the production from Ariceştii Rahtivani comes from most of our country, the basaltic mineral wool being obtained by processing the basalt, a natural volcanic rock that is abundant in Romania.
Regarding the range of locally made products, the Rockwool factory in Romania will deliver complete solutions for the insulation of facades, roofs and terraces, floors, partitions and attics.
The Rockwool products, properly fitted, guarantee efficient performance throughout the life of the building. The energy consumption of the building can be reduced by 50% or even more. Rockwool insulation is also used to achieve zero energy consumption, as is the case with passive houses. Rockwool basaltic mineral wool can also be used in extreme conditions as it retains its insulation properties at both very low and very high temperatures.
Rockwool Romania SRL is part of the Rockwool Group, with approximately 11,600 employees in 39 countries.
