Wienerberger modernized plant in Romania

As part of its ongoing investment in the comprehensive ecological transformation of its global value chain, wienerberger, the leading international provider of innovative solutions for the entire building envelope, has modernized its brick plant in Berca, Romania, over the past 8 months. Sustainability was a key focus of this investment, and the factory meets the highest standards in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it enhances production efficiency while reducing resource utilization. Additionally, carbon emissions will be reduced by approximately 4,000 tons per year thanks to a new drying process. The plant was officially reopened on September 16.

Wienerberger has been present in Romania since 1998 and is one of the country's largest producers of building materials. With Berca, the company operates a total of seven production sites in the country and employs around 550 people. The production site is located near Bucharest, a city with significant construction activity and strong demand for wienerberger products, which support the development of net zero buildings.

Step towards sustainability and climate neutrality

Heimo Scheuch, CEO of wienerberger, says: “The Romanian market is of great importance to us. I am therefore particularly pleased that we are opening our next state-of-the-art ecological plant in Berca. This step will not only strengthen the regional economy, it also moves us forward on our path towards resource-saving and sustainable production. With these and other innovative solutions, we will achieve climate neutrality along the entire value chain by 2050.”
