Still GmbH has established a Romanian subsidiary, Still Motostivuitoare srl, opening on 1 June, to offer local customers its full product range and service.
"Since the accession of Romania to the EU in 2007, the country at Europe's eastern border is considered an upcoming economic region mainly due to its development in the industrial sector," a Still statement explains.
About 36 members of the team of 50 employees will work in service in the company's Bucharest headquarters and other sales and service centres.
Manfred Radloff, 55, is the managing director of the Still subsidiary. He joined Still in 1990 and has managed Still subsidiaries in Poland and Hungary. Radloff was most recently in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he directed Still subsidiaries in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.
