Dairy producer Artesana has secured bank financing of up to €15 million for the company's third factory, an investment scheduled in Tecuci. The company estimates sales of over €18 million in 2026, after recording approximately €12 million in the first nine months of the year, according to information presented by co-founder Daniel Donici.
The company is targeting business growth of over 20 percent and is preparing to expand its production capacity alongside the new unit. Artesana is also developing a range of specialty cheeses, a direction through which it hopes to strengthen its position on the domestic market and attract new customers.
Artesana currently has 120 employees. Daniel Donici said the structure plans to recruit staff as capacity grows, as the company wants to hire people for the new factory and for the expansion of its activity.
Beyond the local market, the company is also considering expansion into foreign markets. The entrepreneur did not specify, in the publicly available information, which destinations are targeted or a timetable for this endeavour.
The investment comes at a time when several segments of the Romanian economy are looking for new sources of growth. For producers in the food industry, access to bank financing for expanding production capacity remains an essential element of development plans, and hiring qualified staff and expanding into new markets are objectives that companies in the sector consistently pursue.
