Lio-Metal opens new metallurgy factory in Galați

Lio-Metal, a Romanian company in the metallurgy industry, is officially opening a new production factory in Galați, built to replace its old facility. With an investment of approximately EUR 5 million, financed with the support of ING Bank, the new unit represents a strategic step in the company's development and a significant move towards modernizing industrial processes, increasing production capacity, and strengthening its position in the national market.

"After 16 years of activity, relocating to a modern factory is a natural step that allows us to operate at higher technological standards, ensuring an optimized, energy-efficient production flow that is much better adapted to current market demands. We are proud to have built this greenfield facility, tailored to our current needs. It represents the expansion of our capacity and reinforces our quality and operational efficiency standards. We have invested significantly in technology and people, and today we are better equipped than ever to deliver reliable and competitive solutions. We continue to build responsibly, following a clear vision of sustainable and long-term development," stated Ion Luca, Founder and CEO of Lio-Metal.

Covering over 7,000 square meters and equipped with modern machinery, the new Lio-Metal factory will have an annual production capacity of around 25,000 tons. Over the next two years, it will enable an increase of estimated 50% in the total production volume.
