The Busch Group has expanded its Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions production facility in Cluj, Romania, launching a modern, two-story extension that strengthens its footprint in the region.
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on 12th December, 2024, at Nervia Industrial Park in Apahida, Cluj County, with key representatives from the Busch Group, including Co-owner and Co-CEO Sami Busch, in attendance. The event also marked two milestones: Busch Romania’s 10th anniversary and the establishment of a new company, Composites Busch Romania.
The expanded facility integrates advanced infrastructure designed to enhance operations and employee well-being. It features a canteen with a terrace, rest areas, and a new photovoltaic system with 1,456 solar panels, which now generate 10–15% of the company’s energy supply, with the remainder source from renewable electricity.
“By incorporating Pfeiffer Vacuum into the Busch Group, we can now offer our customers in Romania the best solutions for all vacuum technology applications,” said Andrei Varga, Managing Director of Busch Romania.

The newly established entity, Composites Busch Romania, aims to bolster the Group’s competitive position in the region. “This new facility paves the way for expanding our market presence in a competitive and qualitative manner,” stated Ahmet Muderris, Managing Director of Composites Busch.
The Busch Group’s Romanian presence has steadily grown since Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions was established in 2010. Busch Romania followed in 2014, and a new Pfeiffer Vacuum facility began operations in Nervia Industrial Park in 2018.
Europe’s vacuum technology market, valued at over €5bn ($5.1bn), is also expanding, with an estimated annual growth rate of 6-7%, reflecting rising demand for innovative solutions across industries, including semiconductors and renewable energy applications.
