Romanian furniture producer and retailer Mobexpert, controlled by local entrepreneur Dan Șucu, sold to the real estate developer CTP the logistics center it held in Mureș in a sale and leaseback deal, according to sources contacted by Profit.ro.

Mobexpert invested about EUR 28 mln in 2007 in relocating its factories ConfoMex, StudioMex, IleforMex and MuresMex to the Vidrasău Industrial Park, in Mureș county. The investment also included the construction of the logistics platform with an area of ​​12,000 square meters.
