The State Of Romanian Glass Packaging

Romania is still coping with the tough task of regenerating an economy which was in a critical condition 10 years ago. The main problem is that today, most of Romanian industry is operating with outated equipment as there are few resources to buy modern machinery. The majority of glass packaging companies, therefore, find it difficult, if not impossible to produce goods of a quality which is acceptable for export to West European markets. One glass packaging producer, Stirom, has managed to acquire modern machinery in recent years, but the others remain in need of investment to modernize their production methods.
