2008 - Year No.1

For the President of UCM Group - Adrian CHEBUTIU and the managing staff of UCM Group, 2008 represented the confirmation of the famous adage "Yes, we can".

"We had a year 2008 that might be considered as the best one since the moment of UCM Resita privatization, year that came to an end with an operating profit higher than 8 millions euro. Certainly, after performing the transactions there are several important financial costs that have occur and, sometimes, this amount is practically consumed by the financial costs required to reimburse the debts towards the government (historical debts), cost that is immensely high" - says CHEBUTIU.

2008 represents, essentially, both the reward for the effort of the 3800 people involved in the activities performed by UCM Group along 4 years and the confirmation of the managing staff that has engaged its responsibility and skills to transform a slow company in a dynamic and efficient one.

Adrian CHEBUTIU remembers that: "If at the beginning I've seen people looking hopeless, without any possibility to draw up a future, today, by improving in mind the idea and the logo of No.1, the employees of UCM Group have become proud to be part of this organization. We should not forget that, today, UCM Resita is with no doubt the pennant company of the Romanian heavy industry, a lasting company that has work to do, a company with skilled people that rediscovered their handicraft, people that by their skilled hands make miracles, the results being noticed in the efficiency and capacity of their work".

Considering the good results anticipated for the future, the next step is intended for the investment in new equipment and in increasing the efficiency of the production means.
