Last week, on the occasion of the official opening ceremony for the new headquarters of ALFA METAL MACHINERY GROUP, we had the honor of the special visit of his Excellency, Mr. Philipe BEKE, Belgium’s Ambassador in Romania, as well as of the local officials from Iasi, namely Mr. Mihai CHIRICA, Vice-mayor of Iasi and Mr. Cristian ADOMNITEI, the President of Iasi Local Council. Important business partners with whom our company has developed powerful business relationships over the years were also invited to this ceremony.

The festivities started with the guest reception. Our team was present at the entrance, wishing a warm welcome to all guests.

The most important moment of the event was the official inauguration of the new headquarters of ALFA METAL MACHINERY GROUP by his Excellency, Mr. Philippe BEKE, together with the company’s, Mr. Patrick FAVOREEL and the local officials, Mr. Cristian ADOMNITEI and Mr. Mihai CHIRICA.

Then, the three esteemed guests addressed a few words to those present, underlining the importance of the economic development of the Romanian North-Eastern region and the necessity of introducing new and high performance machines in the Romanian industry.

The representatives of the local mass-media were also present at this manifestation.

His Excellency, Mr. Philippe Beke, Belgium’s Ambassador to Romania: “I am glad to see that Belgian businesses enjoy great success in Iasi, it is of the outmost importance to show the entire world the development of Iasi. The 45 employees of the company (that is, Alfa Metal Machinery) are one step ahead. Iasi is a center for the development of business in the rest of the Central European states. It is a real opportunity for this center to be seen from outside its borders”.

Cristian Adomnitei, President of Iasi Local Council: “This company of Belgian origin is at the basis of many other investments in industry, from our city and region. Maybe few people know that when it came to bringing machines and commissioning them at Delphi, BMT, and other factories that offer employment opportunities in Iasi, it was Alfa Metal that provided these services”.

Patrick Favoreel, the company’s CEO: “Our sales policy is not to sell one machine, but a solution for our customers’ production problems. Basically, the customer and the supplier solve a problem together, as far as the execution of certain work-pieces is concerned: that is why there is investment in machine-tools!”

After the official ceremony, the atmosphere became very relaxing for all guests.

The manifestations organized by ALFA METAL MACHINERY GROUP ended with a banquet in the honor of our esteemed guests.

We would like to use this opportunity to thank all our partners and those who stood beside us on this joyous occasion.
