Overview of Plastic Products Manufacturing in Romania

The plastics industry in Romania has experienced significant development in recent decades, becoming a fundamental sector for the country's economy. CAEN Division 22, which includes the manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles, plays a crucial role in local production chains, supplying diverse sectors such as construction, packaging, agriculture and the automotive industry. This branch of plastics processing relies on advanced technologies of extrusion, injection and thermoforming, transforming semi-finished raw materials into finished products with a wide range of applications.

In the macroeconomic context, the sector contributes significantly to the GDP of the manufacturing industry and to job creation, especially in areas with industrial tradition. The main challenges faced by entrepreneurs include the volatility of raw material prices, especially oil-derived polymers, as well as legislative pressures regarding sustainability and recycling.
