Turkish URB Group, which owns the Rulmenti Barlad bearings plant, announced today it will invest USD 18 million in its Romanian factory in the next three years, although the domestic market is flooded with counterfeited bearings from Asia, and sales plunged 83 percent in the last five years to USD 2.5 million.
Harun Adiguzel, CEO of URB Group, said that around 70 percent of the URB branded bearings in Romania are counterfeited. Moreover the CEO called for the government to support domestic production and set up anti-dumping tariffs against counterfeit products made in China, India or Turkey.
