Turkish company Borusan Pipe will open a factory of components for the automotive industry in Prahova county

Turkish company Borusan Pipe will open in a few months a new production capacity in the Alinso Industrial Park, within the radius of the Ariceștii Rahtivani commune, Prahova county.

“This is where the production of shock absorbers that are part of automobiles will begin. The clients are Dacia and Ford Otosan, but also companies from Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic or Poland. The machines arrive in the production hall, are installed and tested. The investment is 15 million euros with the possibility of doubling it in the shortest time, if the market will demand it. The first phase involves the creation of sixty new jobs,” announced Stefan Radu Oprea, Minister of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Tourism.

“But the stake is the desire of the Borusan group (with a total turnover of 7.9 billion dollars) to diversify its investments in other areas of activity, not only in the one of components for the automotive industry,” explained the minister. In the spring, Borusan Mannesmann, the largest producer of steel pipes in Turkey and one of the largest players in the profile market in Europe, part of the Turkish Borusan group, completed the works at the factory in Romania, starting trial production. The company plans to reach sales of over 10 thousand tons at the Romanian unit in 2026.
