Romanian furniture producer Rus Savitar, which recently opened two franchised Casa Rusu stores, in the Romanian cities of Bistrita and Suceava, plans to open another in Bucharest and invest EUR 5 million in expanding production this year. With this investment, it will create 400 new jobs and reach a production capacity of 10,000 upholstered furniture pieces a month, five times more than the current production capacity.

With five existing franchised stores and 11 stores run by the producer, Rus Savitar started life as a furniture retailer in 1997, but has since expanded into furniture production. It now has a production capacity of 18,000 sets of furniture and some 2,000 upholstered furniture pieces each month.

The group is controlled by the Rusu family. Last year, the group had a turnover of EUR 26 million and for this year, it hopes for a 10 percent increase in sales.  The company’s general manager is Cristian Rusu (in picture).
