Alka Trading Boosts Investment Plan for Enhanced Production Capabilities in 2025
Snack Giant Alka Trading Amps Up Investments in 2025
Romania's snack powerhouse, Alka Trading, is beefing up its wallet this year, bumping up the investment budget to a whopping RON 98 million, nearly doubling last year's figure, as the company discloses to Ziarul Financiar for the upcoming issue of The Biggest Players in the Economy yearbook.
In an exclusive chat, Ady Hirsch, the Chief Honcho of Alka Group, gave the lowdown on the company's grand investment blueprint. The focus for 2025, he revealed, is all about broadening production lines, wrapping up infrastructure updates, and diving into digitalization projects across Alka's entire operation.
The Krenzia family's brainchild, Alka, runs two gigantic munch-making factories, one in the capital city of Bucharest and another in Ploieşti. The Ploieşti plant, recently christened in 2019, gulped down a cool EUR 25 million and is now setting its sights on an expansion, with plans announced as far back as 2023.
The Ploieşti plant, the salty snacks specialist, bursts out mouth-watering treats such as Toortitzi, Soocitzi, and Meteoritzi. Conversely, the Bucharest factory reigns over the sweet division with beloved brands like Prăjitura Casei, Alfers, and Alka Biscuiţi, throwing in a nice cup of joe with its coffee products too!
Alka's investment plans chime in perfectly with the surging demand for local snacks within the country and the tantalizing opportunities in international markets.
