The company has three cement plants in Romania, one in each Turda, Campulung and Alesd, a chain of 18 ready-mix concrete plants, two special binders and five aggregate plants. Its main competitors on the Romanian market are Carpatcement (part of the German concern Heidelbergcement) and a subsidiary of the French Lafarge group.
