Romcim

What Romcim does

Romcim is one of the leading producers of cement, aggregates, and concrete in Romania, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRH Group Ireland — a NYSE/LSE-listed Fortune 500 building-materials group with ~83,000 employees and 4,000+ locations worldwide. Within CRH Romania, which employs approximately 2,700 people across 60 operating units (also encompassing Elpreco, Ferrobeton, Bauelemente, Sapphire Energy, and TehnoWorld), Romcim is the flagship cement, concrete, and aggregates business. The company is headquartered in Bucharest, runs manufacturing in Medgidia with a wind farm supplying a significant share of plant energy, operates port terminals at Port Constanța (Docks 67-68), maintains a national network of bulk and bag cement terminals, and runs mobile and fixed concrete batching stations across the country.

Romcim's product portfolio spans quarry and gravel-pit aggregates, a full range of bagged cements (Multibat, Romcim Ultra, Romcim Durabil, Romcim Rapid, Soilstab) and bulk cements (CEM I 42.5R/52.5R/52.5R White, CEM II/A-LL and II/B-M, CEM III/A 42.5 N-LH), specialty concretes (CompactMaster, LowHeatMaster, HydroMaster, HiperMaster, FoundationMaster, RoadMaster, Beton torcret, DecorMaster, DrainMaster), road binders (Roadmix, Soilfix, Soilmix), fillers, and an adhesives/mortars line (ExtraZid, ExtraTherm, ExtraFin, ExtraFix, ExtraTenc-I/E). Its CEVO sub-brand is a proprietary low-CO2 cement and concrete line offering up to 70% emissions reduction versus standard CEM I, aligned with CRH's Net Zero 2050 commitment. Supporting services include technical consulting, authorized laboratory testing, mobile laboratory testing, and integrated logistics with GPS-tracked delivery, pumping, and mobile silos.

Romcim generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of construction materials to enterprise customers via a direct field-sales and technical-consulting model covering all Romanian counties. It serves three primary use-case segments: critical infrastructure (highways, bridges, wind farms, ports), non-residential (logistics, commercial, healthcare, cultural), and residential. Major reference projects include the Brăila Bridge (the third-longest suspension bridge in continental Europe), the A0 Bucharest ring road, the LEED Platinum-certified Equilibrium building for Skanska, the Timpuri Noi Square office development for Vastint, the Cazinoul Constanța heritage restoration, and the Mintia power-plant reconversion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact Romcim directly for quotations. Distribution is omnichannel: bulk and bag cement terminals, concrete batching stations, a Multibat retail point-of-sale network, and the digital Customer Portal (partener.romcim.ro / partenerbeton.romcim.ro) for order and delivery management.
