Description

The Romanian subsidiary of the Italian manufacturer of home electric appliances De’Longhi Romania announced it would create 500 new jobs at its new Madaras plant, near Bihor, by the end of 2020. The management of the Italian group remains discreet about this second investment in Romania, where it intends to repatriate its production from China.
