Symmetrica, the market leader in vibropressed pavers and curbs in Romania and the largest local manufacturer with nine production units, has announced the completion of its second factory within the Doaga industrial hub in Vrancea County. The €15 million investment marks a strategic milestone for the company, strengthening Symmetrica’s position in both the regional and national precast concrete markets.
Built on the site acquired from Somaco Holding, the new facility transforms an underused industrial area into a modern production center, now featuring four halls and a delivery capacity of approximately 50 truckloads of products per day. The integration of three high-performance photovoltaic parks ensures that 70% of the energy needs of the hub are met sustainably, underlining Symmetrica’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
“The acquisition, modernization, and technological upgrade of the facility purchased from Somaco Holding was a strategic move for Symmetrica. We’ve expanded our production capacity, created new jobs, and revived the region’s industrial legacy. This is clear proof that long-term investments can generate tangible economic and social benefits for communities,” stated Sebastian Bobu, Executive Director of Symmetrica.
Spanning 30 hectares, the Doaga industrial center is now the largest production platform in Symmetrica’s portfolio and a benchmark in the industry. The two factories – Doaga 1 (inaugurated in 2018) and Doaga 2 (operational as of 2025) – comprise four production halls and one storage hall, delivering a daily output of 500 cubic meters of products for national infrastructure projects.
The new plant’s portfolio includes precast concrete components for water and sewage infrastructure, road infrastructure elements, and poles for overhead power lines (LEA), thus expanding Symmetrica’s expertise across critical sectors of national infrastructure.
The facility will generate 50 new jobs, increasing the total number of employees at the Doaga hub to 130, while offering valuable professional development opportunities in a region with untapped industrial potential.
The implementation of photovoltaic parks at the Doaga site highlights Symmetrica’s strategy of promoting green solutions and reducing energy dependency. In recent years, the company has invested over €6 million in 12 photovoltaic parks nationwide, reinforcing its status as a responsible leader in the transition to economic sustainability.
“Integrating photovoltaic parks is not just about cutting costs — it’s a firm statement of our role as a responsible leader. With 70% energy independence at Doaga, we’re proving that economic performance and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand,” added Sebastian Bobu.
The new Doaga factory complements Symmetrica’s largest investment to date: the completion of its Bolintin Vale plant in Giurgiu County, the biggest production center in Southeast Europe, built with a nearly €50 million investment. This facility will boost the company’s production capacity by 30% and further solidify Symmetrica’s position in the regional and European markets.
