Nokia to setup a mobile manufacturing plant in Romania

World’s largest mobile phone maker Nokia has announced that they are going to setup a mobile manufacturing unit in Romania.

The company would be building their phones at this new plant for their markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Nokia said in a statement that this plant would employ 500 workers and be located in the northwestern city of Cluj. They plan to invest USD 80 million on setting it up.

A company statement added: “Nokia selected Cluj as the location for the plant because of the county’s availability of skilled labor, its good inbound and outbound logistics connections, its overall efficiency, and the long industrial tradition in the area. As part of the plans, Nokia is looking to establish an industrial village in the area, enabling a number of key suppliers and partners to locate their operations there.”

The company added: “The decision to establish a new factory in Romania is a reflection of Nokia’s strong volume growth globally, as well as the increasing demand for mobile devices in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”

Nokia already has similar manufacturing units at Brazil, Britain, China, Germany, Finland, India, Mexico and South Korea.
