Symmetrica recorded a turnover of 63.7 million euros, up 22 percent in 2024

Symmetrica, the leader of the local market for vibro-pressed pavers and curbs, recorded a turnover of 317 million lei (63.7 million euros) last year, up 22 percent compared to 2023.

Symmetrica’s business expansion was boosted by the investments in increasing production capacities made by the company in the last two years. In 2023, Symmetrica allocated 14 million euros for the inauguration of its first factory in the South-East of the country, in Ovidiu (Constanța), and for the expansion of the production unit in Prejmer (Brașov).

Last year, the company took a new strategic step, starting production at the Bolintin Vale factory – Symmetrica’s largest production unit and in South-Eastern Europe. Developed through an investment of almost 50 million euros, it will operate four state-of-the-art production lines and will contribute to a 30 percent increase in total production capacity.

“The investment in the Bolintin Vale factory was an essential strategic step for Symmetrica, consolidating our position on the market and supporting the accelerated growth of the business. At this moment, the first three production lines are already operational, and in the coming period we are focusing on optimizing the processes and preparing the fourth line and post-processing capacities (splitting, sandblasting and antiquing), so that we reach, this year, the full potential of this investment”, declared Sebastian Bobu, Executive Director of Symmetrica.

In its 30 years of activity, Symmetrica has invested over 135 million euros, of which 110 million euros in the nine paving and precast concrete factories and 25 million euros in the industrial equipment factory, consolidating its leading position in the industry.

For 2025, Symmetrica still expects a stable evolution of the business, in the context of a construction market under pressure from several factors. The decrease in investments in the residential sector, the increase in material costs, the constantly increasing inflation and the general economic and political instability influence the demand, while measures such as the reintroduction of the 1.5 percent tax on special constructions and the elimination of tax incentives for employees in the field put additional pressure on the industry as a whole.

The company representative estimates that the infrastructure works segment will continue to be the main growth engine, supported by public projects. Also, despite the slowdown in the residential market, the growing interest in premium solutions will generate opportunities for differentiation and consolidation in this segment.

“This year, we will focus on optimizing operations and innovation, so as to respond as efficiently as possible to market demands. We see different dynamics between segments, with strong demand in infrastructure and a selective evolution of the residential sector. We are ready to adapt to market developments and capitalize on opportunities, while maintaining the quality and competitiveness of our products”, concluded the CEO of Symmetrica.
