Virgil Mija, the main shareholder of "Roclip" Făgăraş, who owns 45%, had announced last year that the company had urgent need for a bank loan of 6-7 million Euros for retooling. In 2009, the company"s shareholders approved the renting part of its storage areas to other interested investors. "Those storage areas were used for the storage of potatoes, but we no longer need to store our own potatoes, because there are large warehouses in the area, which is why we have decided to rent part of our storage areas which are no longer needed for the manufacturing process", said Virgil Mija. He said that in the last two years, the company invested around two million Euros in retooling and distribution.
