2020 – INATECH Packaging’s 10th Anniversary
This December marks 10 years of experience in the packaging industry
The INATECH Story – CEO Interview
How did it all begin? With an idea…
Until 2010, there was no complete protective packaging supplier, particularly for the industrial segment. This marked an online first in the field: the concept of a “complete packaging provider”.
“In my previous collaborations, I encountered the need for protective packaging. I kept looking for various suppliers, but unfortunately, I could not find a complete one.”
The beginning was very difficult, but trust and perseverance have resulted in the 10 years of experience we celebrate today.
Over the years, we have witnessed many changes, both in our own development and in the packaging market, where constant, in-depth analysis is essential.
“True success is achieved over time, through small steps, building brick by brick and continuously documenting your progress.”
Everything began to gain momentum when we decided to rent our first facility, purchase our first vehicle and increase the volume of goods delivered.
We developed alongside the market, guided by our values: innovation, flexibility, professionalism and quality.
The INATECH team, under the guidance of Business Manager Andrei RUSU, played an essential role in this development.
From the very beginning, we sought to stay up to date with the latest developments in the world of packaging and automate our processes. We set clear short- and medium-term objectives, and the dedication of everyone involved led to a major achievement: the launch of one of the largest and most complex online stores dedicated to protective packaging, https://inatech-shop.ro
“Believing strongly in this business, I brought my friend Andrei RUSU on board. He is still part of INATECH today as Business Manager and a partner in iFoam AG.”
Where are we today?
Today, we operate throughout Romania across a total area of more than 8,000 sqm, with warehouses in Domnesti and Oradea, and we plan to expand our operations into Bulgaria, Hungary and the Republic of Moldova.
We have the opportunity to work with the leading protective packaging manufacturers in Asia and Europe, who have entrusted us with supplying their products in Romania.
Although 2020 was a challenge for everyone, the professionalism and commitment of the INATECH team helped us exceed our targets and discover new opportunities, achieving a 20% increase in turnover compared with 2019.
The INATECH team consists of more than 30 employees working in an office facility in Domnesti, Ilfov County. We work with customers in Romania and across Europe in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, military, pharmaceutical, electronics, machinery and equipment, furniture, glass, construction, packaging, online commerce, logistics and more.
What are our goals for the next 5 years?
By 2025, we want to double the group’s turnover and exceed EUR 10 million.
iFoam AG will become the most modern factory producing customized protective packaging made from recycled PEE foam.
Because sustainability has been part of our identity from the beginning, we want to invest heavily in recyclability and create a complex closed-loop system in which the packaging we supply is returned to us as waste and subsequently transformed into raw material.
“Thank you for being with us throughout all these years!”
