Dulcinella is a brand created in 2005 in the Republic of Moldova
and since 2021 it has also entered the Romanian market
The company has a network of 18 confectioners and pastry shops (one of which is franchised) in Bucharest
Over 40% sales growth with a network reduced by 30%
“The year 2024 was a year of transformation
ending with a turnover of €7.1 million for the Dulcinella Romania group
we ended with a significant increase compared to 2023
even though we operated with only 18 confectioners
This result was driven by the change of the business strategy as a result of a new Group management vision
which included the closure of the inherited underperforming confectioners
I believe that the main factor of this result is efficiency”
Among the main business initiatives of Dulcinella in 2025 are the opening of a new factory in Târgu Neamț (to relocate the current one)
increasing the network by opening 32 franchise units – to reach 50 units by the end of the year
an investment of EUR 200,000 in a new ERP system for process optimization
and expanding storage capacity for frozen products
The new factory in Târgu Neamț will employ approximately 100 people, double the number at the current one.
The company acquired a former textile factory in Targu Neamt at the end of 2024 for EUR 750,000
which has an area of 4,700 square meters and is located on a 8,500 square meter plot of land
The entire planned investment in the new factory will be another EUR 3 million
The new factory is planned to open in August and will replace the current one
being more modern and with a production capacity about three times greater than the existing one
Around 100 people will work in the new factory
working in the existing factory and the network of confectioneries and pastry shops
The new factory in Târgu Neamț will open instead of the one scheduled to launch this year in Cernica
Dulcinella’s management aims to build a logistics hub for storing frozen products
which will support both the factory’s operations and the company’s long-term expansion
“The initial planning for the opening of the new factory on the 19,000 square meters acquired in Cernica in 2024 has been modified due to an opportunity that arose at the end of last year
We purchased a former textile factory in Târgu Neamț
which gives us the advantage of retaining the existing team and opening the new factory much faster
saving about two years compared to the original plan
The planned investment for Cernica remains strategic for us but will be redirected towards building a hub that will reinforce our logistical infrastructure and enhance operations in the coming years,” explained the CEO of Dulcinella Romania
Launch of savory pastry products and a campaign with Dubai chocolate
Dulcinella will initially focus on cities located approximately 150 kilometers from Bucharest and on the Moldova area
where production and distribution infrastructure is already well-developed
Dulcinella’s management will launch three new types of savory products this year
in response to growing demand for savory pastries
although general preferences have remained constant over the years
the end of 2024 brought the trend of Dubai chocolate
with the company recently running a sales campaign for this product in all Dulcinella confectioneries
Dulcinella Romania is a brand of confectionery and pastry rooted in Bessarabian cuisine that launched in Romania in 2021
and since 2023 is part of the investment portfolio of the Cornelius H Group LTD investment fund based in London
Products are made in the Dulcinella factory in Târgu Neamț and are sold through a network present in Bucharest
Some of the most appreciated creations include pastries like Cușma lui Guguta
and baked goods like skillet pies or croissants
The brand operates offline and online through a network of confectioneries and pastry shops

The government chooses to respond to Moldovan citizens with knee-made maps with no value and fancy terms that can no longer trick anyone
says the Pro Infrastructure Association in a press release
the government has included on a beautifully colored map the sector between Targu Neamt and Iasi within the projects that are intended to be achieved through Public Private Partnership (PPP)
although all 311 km of the A8 Motorway already have European funding provided
a much cheaper and easier to access solution than the PPP option
PPP is not a magical solution for faster construction of highways
and in this case well-grounded studies are vital and professional training is needed and projects to avoid bottlenecks during construction
Only by careful identification of risks on the ground
investment funds) can be attracted to such a partnership
otherwise only companies willing to take risks huge costs
unlike the projects funded by European money
the Romanian state must participate in the investment with a much higher percentage
and the authorities are not able to properly finance the projects on community funds ,” shows the Association
The auctions for preparation (feasibility study, technical project, building authorization) of the four projects (Ploiesti-Buzau, Buzau-Focsani, Focsani-Bacau and Bacau-Pascani) of the A7 Motorway were launched on 24 November 2016 and in the following summer, July and August 2017, the offers were opened, but the road company has not evaluated it until now.
the contract for design and execution was terminated in April 2017
but only on 16 December 2017 was re-auctioned and is currently in the tender evaluation stage
CNAIR launched a review of the feasibility studies conducted in 2010 to bring them to an appropriate technical level and to obtain the environmental agreement
Two auctions were canceled (Ditrau-Targu Neamt and Targu Neamt-Iasi-Ungheni) and the only signed contract (Targu Mures-Ditrau) did not even start
being suspended by CNAIR (two times) and then terminated on 19 January 2018
“We call on the officials of the National Road Administration to finalize carefully the evaluation of the offers for the sections of the A7 Motorway and urgently re-launch the procedures for updating the feasibility studies for the A8 Motorway!” says the Pro Infrastructure Association.
The Government adopted on Thursday a decision approving the first list of strategic investment projects to be implemented in a public-private partnership
namely the Ploiesti – Comarnic – Braşov highway
Târgu Mureş – Târgu Neamţ – Iaşi – Ungheni highway

The Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin is a location where state of the art technologies are used to produce components that help reduce CO2 emissions
the unit will be equipped with lines for assembling transmission electrical systems for future vehicles produced under the EQ brand
foresees the construction of 1.300 kilometers of highway by 2030
twice as many kilometers compared to the initial plan
Following the debates it was proposed the construction of various highway sectors that initially were to be expressways
Targu Neamt-Iasi-Ungheni and Targu Mures-Targu Neamt (the latter as a motorway built in several stages)
At the same time, the document includes a new ring road with motorway profile for Bucharest and various other expressway sectors that originally were part of the Trans Regio network.
“After the public debate there have been proposed 1.301 km of highway
with an additional 645 km compared to the initial version of the Master Plan
3.147 km of Regio Trans and Trans Euro road and 67 independent bypass or part of highway projects or expressways variants
