Description
Textile company Pasmatex with a total turnover of EUR 4.4 million (of which 50% export in European Union Member States) intends to invest EUR 4 million in the next 18 month to relocate the plant it owns from the centre of Timişoara to the industrial area of the city. The turnover of the company decreased 20% compared to 2004, and the number of employees decreased from 718 to 600, according with the statement of General Director Maria Grapini as a result of the euro exchange rate and increased competition from the Chinese textile industry.
