Amylon Sibiu took over the brands of the Cluj-based Feleacul producer last year, for some €600,000.
“We plan to resume the halva production in Cluj for eight months, namely September 2009-April 2010, as we cannot be absent from the market. There will be no work over the summer in Cluj,” the manager of Amylon Sibiu, Constantin Tudor, told Business Standard. The company official added that, following this decision, the 40 employees with temporary work contracts have entered technical unemployment.
Amylon delivers some 10 tons of halva per month, except months of fasting, when deliveries amount to 300 tons, said Tudor. The company posted an annual rise of more than 50 percent in sales in the first quarter of this year.
