After 14 years of continuous developments, it has become operational at Reghin, a complex and modern wood processing platform with 2 production units and more than 800 employees. The change of the name, from Prolemn to Kastamonu Romania, starting with April, was meant as final confirmation that the company is finally prepared to perform its activity within Kastamonu Group, in accordance to its rules and objectives.

Kastamonu Romania is one of the biggest doorskin producers(HDF panels for cellular doors), its annual production covers almost 10% of global capacity of this market. The start-up of the new particleboard production facility, the result of a 150 million euro investment, will definitely place Kastamonu as one of the top producers of this market, too.
