Description
Irrom Industrie finalised the construction of a production hall for tubular steel radiators in Iclod (Nord-Vest region, Cluj county). Production here began in April 2005, though according to company estimates full capacity will not be reached until 2007, when it will employ 200 people.
Irrom Industry is a member of the Italian group Irsap, a producer of steel radiators.
The factory will have a new production line, as part of an investment worth €400,000.
‘The new production line forms part of our development plans for this year. We currently work on a single production line using three shifts and 50 employees – 30 more than at the beginning of the year. Assuming there are no problems, we expect the new line will be operational by September 2005’, Irrom general manager said. He added that the number of employees at the plant will rise to 100 by the end of 2005
Irrom is also planning to establish a national sales network during 2005. 90% of the companyÂ’s current production in Cluj is exported abroad.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
