Lugera & Makler Payroll Srl

What Lugera & Makler Payroll Srl does

Lugera & Makler Payroll Srl is a Romanian private limited company (RO 18838779, J40/11234/2006) operating as the payroll-specialized legal entity within the Lugera group, an HR services group founded in 1996 in Slovakia and active in Romania since 2001. The group is ranked among the top 3 HR agencies in Romania and serves employers across all major industries via a portfolio that includes permanent and temporary recruitment, executive search, payroll and personnel administration, employment of record (EOR), HR consultancy, and dedicated outsourcing districts covering HR, business processes, procurement, and property/facility management.

Service delivery combines a 12-branch physical network across Romania (anchored by a Bucharest headquarters at 98 Vulturilor Street) with digital channels, most notably the JOBEX job board/candidate portal, a Romanian Fiscal Code–compliant Salary Calculator, and an EOR platform that enables foreign companies to hire in Romania without setting up a local entity. As of 2018, the group reported turnover above 68 million EUR, managed 7,000+ temporary employees, and processed 20,000+ payroll slips.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: recruitment and staffing (professional services fees tied to permanent placements, executive search, and temporary staffing markups), recurring payroll and personnel administration subscriptions, and managed services from HR, business process, procurement, and property outsourcing mandates. Customers are predominantly enterprise-grade (named logos include Bosch, Saint-Gobain, Sennheiser, Friesland, Kautex, Duvenbeck, Boehringer Ingelheim, Grundfos, Alten, Cit One, and Oriflame), distributed across manufacturing, logistics, electronics, food and beverage, construction, automotive, financial services, healthcare, and cosmetics. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as bespoke B2B engagements. The group operates across Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Netherlands, Morocco, and Ukraine, with eight wholly-owned Romanian subsidiaries formalizing the integrated service suite.
