Romania: Knauf Insulation Romania has officially inaugurated its new €140m, 75,000t/yr Târnăveni glass mineral wool insulation plant in Mureș County. Economedia News has reported that the plant originally entered operation earlier in 2025, but halted operations for two months in mid-2025 due to disruptions to the local water supply. These were the result of flooding in a nearby salt mine.
The Târnăveni plant serves customers in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine. A government grant covered €18m of the cost of the plant.
Angella Ganinger, the German ambassador to Romania, praised the plant as the fifth German investment in Romania inaugurated in the four months since the start of July 2025.
