The company was founded in August 1993 and began manufacturing bathtubs. During the first two years, the company focused on building production halls to ensure large-scale capacities, adapted to a growing market.
The products began to be sold regionally, expanding beyond the local area, thanks to their high quality and attractive design.
Due to increasing demand, in 1999, the company started constructing a 1,300 sqm production hall on the industrial platform in Crișeni, Zalău. Completed in 2001, the facility was equipped with modern technologies, partially financed through the PHARE program, strengthening the company's position as a market leader in Romania’s sanitary ware industry.
The company transitioned to acrylic sheet-based technology, moving away from traditional manufacturing methods. This shift led to higher productivity and improved financial stability.
A recycling line was implemented, allowing for the recovery of over 95% of waste. The company introduced the Balneo and Calyx product ranges, contributing to a 36% increase in turnover compared to the previous year, despite the economic crisis.
The company acquired thermoforming equipment and transport vehicles. Additionally, a modern 1,200 sqm storage platform was built.
A massive fire destroyed the factory, causing significant damage and forcing the company to rethink its business model. The reconstruction focused on implementing advanced fire protection standards, which became a core element of the company’s infrastructure development strategy.
The company implemented three projects financed through structural funds, aimed at acquiring modern thermoforming technologies and constructing two new production halls.
In 2023, WEST&CO secured funding for major investments in new plastic processing technologies through extrusion and thermoforming. The project included the purchase of high-performance recycling equipment, such as shredders and granulators, increasing the efficiency of the recycling process.
The company continued its investments by implementing rigid polymer and metal processing technologies. These investments allowed for the diversification of the product portfolio and strengthened the company’s position in the international market. Additionally, an ambitious corporate management project was launched to drive the company toward excellence and establish it as a benchmark leader in the industry.
