Site powered by Webvision Cloud Fresh university graduates when the Romanian Revolution came in December 1989 Arnella Nechita – Rotta and Cristi Nechita-Rotta thought of creating a business that would resist all the challenges in the economy They called it Sunimprof Rottarprint and founded it in Apahida Arnella and her mother created the company that supplied labels to various companies across the company Their company covered 20 square meters and had a production capacity of 12,000 linear meters of print the company grew constantly reaching 252 employees and covering 6,780 square meters with an output of 117.37 million linear meters of print in 2017 Now, the firm has a market share of over 33 percent in the flexographic printing market, working with clients of the likes of Albalact, Celestica and FrieslandCampina. It provides a wide array of products, ranging from printed self-adhesive labels, to ice cream paper cones, aluminum lids for dairy products and shrink sleeve labels. “The idea was to make something that is used by everyone Arnella was working at the Institute of Atomic Physics from Cluj as an engineer while Cristi was a computer operator at the Center for Mining Computation Center they started to sell all kinds of manufactured products such as accessories flowers and printed anniversary cards to make money “I always thought the business would get to this level. I was dreaming with my eyes opened and I was telling how it would be, I would imagine in detail the equipment, the number of people and how we would export and be known across the world,” says Arnella. It seems that most of the ideas that she had in mind became reality the family-owned business has four logistics centers in Romania as well as two branches in Hungary and southern Germany The company plans to extend its footprint in Germany Expanding in Germany just before the start of the crisis in 2008 provided a lifeline for the company. “As the crisis unfolded, we came with fresh volumes from Germany (to cover the gap from the domestic market – e.n.). (…) This was not a strategy, it was luck,” said Cristi. The company is also working for customers from Israel Italy and is preparing its entry of the Spanish market the international markets generate roughly one quarter of the yearly business The boom in domestic consumption is also helping growth considering that large players out of the 800 customers in the portfolio come from the food industry the company aims to grow its turnover by 10 percent and reach EUR 39 million by the end of 2021 The transition from an ambitious start-up to a larger company came in the late ’90s when the owners took out a bank loan of half a million dollars to buy equipment for expansion paving the way for the start of an investment drive that continues to date the company continues to work with the banking sector to secure funding but has also tapped EU funds and other grant schemes Sunimprof Rottaprint has an investment plan of around EUR 21 – 22 million in the 2013-2021 period that focuses primarily on technological upgrades The company is also planning investments in recycling operations Although firms in Transylvania are grappling with a tight labor market with manufacturers struggling to fill vacant jobs the business of the Rotta family doesn’t seem to be affected The employee retention rate averages at more than 8 years and there are many people that have worked here for more than two decades The constant training of employees is one of the factors that kept people on board The company created in 2008 its own flexographic typing school and has created mixed teams between senior and junior employees on the production halls the company implemented the Kaizen management system in a bid to make the operations more efficient while I am more on the commercial side and a little bit on the technical aspects,” said Cristi We use cookies for keeping our website reliable and secure providing social media features and to analyse how our website is used “We started with a concept characterized by flexibility aimed at companies with 10-100 employees This was the range of employees we were initially thinking about when we launched this concept there are all kinds of flexible office concepts Clients come to us and say they need offices for 10 employees but then they realize that the employees come to the office with pleasure and expand their spaces to 20-30-40 employees or maybe even more,” Tudor Popp Hotspot said during Workplace of the Future conference organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest “The new Hotspot space in Orhideea Towers is attractive for large companies Very few companies make major changes when it comes to traditional offices Maybe this is one of the reasons why employees find it harder to return to the office I haven’t really seen a revolution in company offices The great revolution brought about by the pandemic was the democratization through which people can choose whether to return to the office and this must be understood by corporate real estate companies I can say that our activity is now closer to the hospitality area through the services and facilities we offer Full recording of the conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK9W5auvTGo&t=8371s
