Production will start in January 2021
The Romanian company Datacor, integrator of solutions for intelligent infrastructures, invests 1.25 million euros in the construction of a new optical fiber factory in Bistrița and expands its team in the region.
The new Datacor factory is located in the Bistrita-Sud Industrial Park, and the financing of the project was made possible with the help of European funds through the Regional Operational Program (POR 2.2).
Thus, the factory will start production in January 2021, and will address the following market segments: fiber-to-the-home, data centers, 5G, LANs (Local Area Networks).
“We believe in the future of optical fiber, as a central element of IT&C infrastructures for new technologies. No other medium offers the capacity and transmission speed offered by optical fiber. That’s why we chose to invest in the production of pre-connectorized cables and fiber optic connectivity solutions,” said Călin Brehar, development manager at Datacor.
With this new development, Datacor’s objective for the next year is to launch its own products also on the European market, targeting especially Germany and Austria, countries where very large investments are made in the telecom infrastructure.
Recruitment for 20 positions
The total construction of the factory has an area of 845 square meters, and the project with European funds was created with the central objective of producing pre-connectorized fiber optic cables according to the highest quality standards and with care for the environment, certified by: Recertification ISO 9001 , ISO 14001 certification, GHMT certification of products, implementation of an innovation management system and installation of a renewable energy production capacity for own consumption.
Thus, the Datacor factory has a photovoltaic system that can bring electricity savings of up to 90,000 kWh/year. Work started in the spring of 2018, and the factory is scheduled to go into production in January 2021.
Thus, at the end of this year, Datacor is recruiting for 20 positions available in the region: production technician, measurement and laboratory technician, warehouse manager, quality controller, sales agent, etc.
Despite the pandemic, the Romanian company Datacor, with 18 years of activity on the market of integrating innovative communications solutions, estimates an increase in turnover and profit in 2020 and maintains its investment plan set for the next two years, allocating over 800,000 euro for the development of a regional logistics center.
In the first half of 2019, Datacor recorded an operating profit of over two million euros. And in terms of the projection for the second part of 2020, the company estimates a growth of +3% compared to the annual turnover of 2019, which was a year of historical performance for Datacor, both from the perspective of turnover as well as operating profit.
