Pfeiffer Vacuum opens production site in Romania

On September 26, Pfeiffer Vacuum celebrated the opening of its new production site in Cluj, Romania. The growth of the Pfeiffer Vacuum Group and the continuous demand for vacuum technology had made the modern new building necessary.

It has now been inaugurated with around 140 guests, including employees, suppliers and partners as well as the German and French ambassadors. Various local community representatives were also present.

The city of Cluj is located in the northwest of Romania. With around 320,000 inhabitants, it is the second largest city in Romania. As a business location, Cluj focuses primarily on the information technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering sectors. The city has built four industrial parks specifically for this purpose. Cluj is a university city and the largest administrative center after Bucharest, the capital.

Production and service of components for vacuum pumps from Pfeiffer Vacuum have been taking place in Cluj since 2010. The new building is located in the Nervia Industrial Park in Apahida. Highly efficient production processes can be run on 4,300 square meters of production space. "The new building has enabled us to expand our production and service capacity for components for turbopumps and backing pumps. This is part of our new growth strategy, which includes a global investment program with a volume of 150 million euros," said Dr. Eric Taberlet, CEO of Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG.

74 employees in Cluj now support the workforce at the other Pfeiffer Vacuum production sites. The same production and service standards apply in Romania as at the Pfeiffer Vacuum locations in Germany and France. In addition, the new site in Cluj plays an important role in energy management: the new building and production facilities are in line with the latest findings and technologies for optimum resource utilization.
