Conclusions
1950 - Started the production of electric isolated
conductors in Tîrgu Mureș in the workshops of
local industry
1960 - After a dynamic development, this activity
was transferred to the republican industry
through the set-up of Tg.-Mures Conductors
Factory (FCTM), in 1960, with the registered office
on the current location of ROMCAB.
1961 – 1969 - The factory manufactured cables and
plastics insulated conductors, being developed
and equipped appropriately for domestic
demand, especially for the manufacture of
electrical strands for motor trucks and tractors
assimilated for manufacturing at the factories in
Brasov.
1969 - The factory was unified with Electromureş
company and with Computing Machine factory
(Fabrica de Maşini de Calcul) being built and
commissioned. Electromureş became the sole
supplier of conductors and PVC insulated cords
for the entire building machine industry and
energetic industry, as well as electric strands for
any type of vehicle manufactured in the country.
Year 2016, in the vision of
ROMCAB
“Business growth for this year will be
fueled mainly by contracts signed two
years ago which reach maturity in 2016.
Alongside these, new customers will have
a contribution to the advance of incomes.
The advance of costs is closely related to
the increase in operations. For the
quotations for raw materials we have
budgeted a level close to that recorded last
year.”
Zoltan Prosszer, CEO Romcab
Medium-term plans
“The market capitalization reflects the
price that the Romanian investor is
willing to pay. We also try elsewhere, at
the London Stock Exchange, maybe the
investors there will be willing to pay
more."
Zoltan Prosszer, CEO Romcab
1969-1985 - The wires and wiring sections also
manufacture for export, approximately 20-30% of
the total volume of production, which is delivered
to partners well-known on the European,
American and Far Eastern markets.
1990 - The difficulty in adapting to new markets
and the loss of markets in the countries members
of CAER led to the separation of Electromureş in:
Romcab - having as main activity the
manufacture of wires and wiring; Electromureș- having as main activity the manufacture of
household products; Sumel - having as main
activity the manufacture of electrical, audio goods,
tools and construction of special machines.
1990-1999 - The lack of a centralized planning and
imperfect adaptation of Electromureş and then
Romcab to the conditions of market economy
have led to the loss of some business sectors
important to Romcab.
1999 – Paneuro Company SRL purchased from
F.P.S. [State Ownership Fund] the main stock
package and started an important re-organization
process of the factory, laid the basis of a modern
and efficient management which revived the
production and established, among other
objectives, the re-gain of positions on domestic
and foreign markets.

Annual report 2015
Prepared in accordance with Regulation 1/2006 the CNVM, OMF 881/2012, OMF 1286/2012
Risks related to the macroeconomic environment
Investment risk - Romania joined the European Union in
2007, but it is still an emerging market. Thus, Romania is still
developing its economic, political and legal systems, which makes
that an investment in Romania generates risks not typically associated
with investments in more developed countries. In general,
investments in countries such as Romania are suitable for
sophisticated investors who have the capacity and resources to assess
the risks associated with such investment
The risk of post-integration - The difficulties of post-
integration into the European Union can have a negative impact on
investment in Romania
Corruption in Romania continues to be at a high level, and
anti-corruption legislation, although well developed, despite progress
in recent years, is not yet a sufficiently effective tool in practice
Geopolitical context - The international situation and the
escalation of conflicts globally and regionally may influence the
economic development of the whole world, at European and regional
level, Romania having a relevant position as NATO member and as
member of the European Union, as it is located at the Southern-
Eastern border. Geopolitical context may have a negative impact on
the business and financial condition of the company, the company's
ability to perform its obligations
Resource management and absorption of EU funds - Despite
some progresses have been recorded, Romania will have to pay
greater attention to strengthening the administrative capacity for the
efficient management of budgetary resources and increase capacity to
absorb EU funds
Legislative instability - In most respects, the Romanian
legislation is harmonized with EU legislation, reflecting the imposed
recommendations and containing the guidelines and principles of the
Community acquis. However, changes in legislation, given that laws
and regulations are sometimes applied inconsistently and in certain
circumstances legal remedies cannot be obtained quickly enough, and
the complex and ambiguous tax system may affect the company's
business
Political and economic uncertainties - economic fluctuations
and inconsistency in the implementation of government policies,
respectively political and economic uncertainties may have a negative
impact on the business, financial situation and the company's ability
to perform its obligations
Risks related to capital market
The market price of the shares is volatile and may be
adversely affected by future sales of shares on the open market
A suspension of trading of the shares could negatively affect
the share price
Stocks traded on BVB are less liquid and more volatile than
those traded on larger financial markets
