Grampet Group, active in railway transportation, through its newly established subsidiary Biturom, has opened the largest bitumen melting capacity in Romania, according to Economica.net. The new facility, designed to deliver liquid bitumen for road construction projects in Romania and the Republic of Moldova, was opened on the industrial platform Rafo Onesti. It will cover some 60% of the country's road bitumen market. Romania's sole bitumen production facility is operated by Rompetrol Group at the Vega refinery in Ploiesti (central Romania) and covers some 20% of the country's consumption. Last year, Oil Terminal and Euronova Energies from Switzerland signed a partnership agreement regarding the construction of a (liquid) bitumen terminal in the port of Constanta.
