Carmistin Group, a Romanian producer and processor of meat, has announced the creation of 650 new jobs by the end of 2023.
The Carmistin Group is continuing its investment and sustainable development strategy by accessing new funding for its livestock, organic egg production and organic farming division, as well as for new green energy projects.

Carmistin Group includes more than 20 companies active in the production of chicken, pig, and beef, but also in cereal production. The company was established in 2000 and has a total workforce of 2,700 people.
