LEONI in Romania

LEONI entered the Romanian market in 2000 with the opening of the first WSD (Wiring Systems Division) plant in Arad. There followed the plants in Bistrita (2002) and Pitesti (2005), and afterwards the satellites in Beius, Luduş, Marghita and Bumbeşti-Jiu were opened. In 2016, the first LEONI Shared Service Center (SSC) was established in Cluj-Napoca. With approximately 13,000 employees, LEONI is one of the biggest employers in Romania.

Over time, each Romanian plant has won important awards and received recognition of international clients for which we supply cables, wire systems and harnesses, as follows:

  • The plant in Arad was named Plant of the Year, Cost and Motivation category (2010); received the Excellence Award from GM client (2013) and earned the status of Provider of the Year (2013).
  • The plant in Bistrita was named Plant of the Year at the following categories: Quality and Performance (2007 and 2009); Remarkable production of the EU accession countries (2010); General Results (2010); ranked 1st in the Cutting Process Competition (2015); ranked 1st in the Exporters Top (2015).
  • The plant in Pitesti was named Plant of the Year, Quality and Performance category (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014) and the Costs and Motivation category (2012).

The Shared Service Center in Cluj-Napoca was originally intended to integrate and coordinate from a single location the HR administrative functions of all plants in the region. Meanwhile, 17 different corporate functions joined the center, serving both LEONI divisions – WSD (Wiring Systems Division) and WCS (Wiring Cable Solutions) – with local, regional and global responsibilities. The SSC in Cluj-Napoca developed on a solid base, namely a culture of continuous improvement, diversity and high performance, as well as LEONI’s fit for growth concept aligned with the organization's overall strategy.
