Blum Romania is thus expanding its existing warehouse space in order to respond to the growth recorded in recent years in the furniture hardware manufacturing industry, which has also been reflected in the group’s global financial results.
Andrei Koszti, Regional Commercial Manager, CTP Romania, said: “We welcome our partners at Blum, it's a highly regarded premium brand and we're glad to have the opportunity to be part of their expansion. The furniture manufacturing industry is constantly growing and we are convinced that CTPark Bucharest North, as well as the other parks in our portfolio, can offer complete solutions to meet all the specific needs of this sector.”
Blum has a showroom in Otopeni, and the location of CTPark Bucharest North, in the proximity of the showroom, as well as the easy access were particularly important in the partnership. The new warehouse became operational in the first quarter of this year and is the main distribution point for all products in the company’s portfolio.
Andrei Emil Miinea, Administrator, Blum Romania, said: “Proximity to our showroom in Otopeni, easy access and the possibility to expand our logistics facilities in the future were the key points when we opted for CTPark Bucharest North. We also highly appreciated the availability of the CTP team and their ability to respond quickly to all our specific requests.”
CTPark Bucharest North is located in the Stefanesti – Afumati area and is in the process of expansion. The industrial park has easy access to the main connecting roads such as A3, DN2, but also to Bucharest and offers flexible options, starting from 500 sqm, for medium and long term rental.
The Blum Romania subsidiary was established in 1995 and currently employs 23 people. The company offers various hardware products for furniture manufacturers, including door lifting systems, hinge systems, box, sliding and interior partitioning systems, as well as movement technologies and processing aids.
