Who are the main producers of sheet-metal parts in Romania?

Romanian manufacturers that publicly describe integrated industrial sheet-metal work include Riela Comimpex, Zsofia SRL, MBT, Sarmatec and MOS. Each states cutting, bending and welding capability, and several add machining, coating or assembly. Other firms such as RMC, Euroart, Metalkraft and MegaTitan are sometimes suggested, but confirm current services directly before comparing them. Websites often understate or overstate what a shop can do today.

Is it cheaper to source sheet-metal parts from Romania than locally in Western Europe?

It can be, but compare landed and accepted cost rather than unit price. Add freight, your internal coordination time, incoming inspection and the cost of rejects or late deliveries. Romanian labour costs are rising, with gross pay in CAEN 25 up 10.8% in 2025, so the case rests increasingly on integrated production and reliability as well as wages.

What files should I send for a sheet-metal RFQ?

Send a STEP file as the authoritative 3D model and a separate dimensioned PDF drawing. The PDF should state critical tolerances, material grade, threads, weld and coating requirements, inspection documents, quantities, drawing revision, delivery destination and required date. Legacy 2D formats should only supplement this package in exceptional cases, never replace it.

Which certifications should a Romanian sheet-metal supplier have?

ISO 9001 is the usual baseline for industrial buyers, and Zsofia, for example, cites ISO 9001:2015. A certificate proves a quality system exists, not that your tolerances will be met. Also ask for batch material certificates such as EN 10204 3.1, a sample dimensional inspection report, and the documentation that will accompany your first article.

How do I handle rising metal prices in a long-term supply contract?

Use a price-adjustment clause that indexes part of the price to a public producer-price index, part to sector wages, and keeps a fixed share. Eurostat's Romanian index for metal products was 8.8% higher in July 2026 than a year earlier. Agree the weights from the real cost structure of your part and check which CAEN revision the index uses.

Choosing a sheet-metal supplier in Romania

September 28, 2026 by

Bogdan Hurezeanu

A useful selection starts with the same technical request for each supplier rather than a general ranking of companies.

Define the part and batch

Provide STEP/DXF and dimensioned PDF, grade, thickness, quantity, critical tolerances, finish and revision. For assemblies, include the component list and mounting interfaces.

Check the complete route

Ask who performs cutting, bending, welding, machining, coating and inspection. Confirm quoted operations and responsibility for the finished part.

Compare equivalent quotations

Use the same quantity, delivery address and packaging requirements. Distinguish initial setup from repeat-order cost where the supplier provides that breakdown.

What HABA Research can review

The Craiova workshop combines laser cutting, CNC bending, TIG/MIG/laser welding, milling, turning, SolidWorks design, powder coating and packaging. Project fit, price and lead time are confirmed after reviewing the technical package.
