“Max Bogl currently has 130 employees in Romania, but we are going to need hundreds more for the projects that we will launch in the coming years, while construction workers are very hard to find,” the company’s CEO, Mathias Kirr, told Business Standard. He added that the campus will host 250 workers, recruited from several parts of the country. “We must solve at least part of the problem in this way,” Kirr said.

He added that some 10 percent of the company’s employees, especially managers, are foreign citizens from Austria and Germany, while engineers are mostly Romanians.

The company is expecting €80 million in turnover in 2008, 30 percent higher than the €60 mln forecast for this year.
