West Beton, part of West Group, produced and delivered more than 200,000 cubic meters of ready-mix concrete in 2025 across its three production sites. More than 90% went to residential projects, including HILLS Nord, the third phase of Nusco City, and developments by Hagag and Pedro Construct. The remaining volumes served major infrastructure works such as Bucharest Metro Line 6 and several sections of the A0 motorway.
“In the context of a significant decline of the ready-mix concrete market in 2025, West Beton’s output increased by 25%. This result is a direct consequence of the investments worth over EUR 2.5 million that we made this year in this West Group business line, which generated almost one third of the Group’s consolidated turnover in Romania and Germany,” said Dan Crăciunescu, founder of West Group. “In 2026 we will continue our investment plan, with a budget similar to this year’s, of over EUR 2.5 million, and our objective for next year is to expand into other regions of Romania and achieve a sustainable 25% increase in West Beton’s production,” he added.
Investments in 2025 focused on upgrading the vehicle fleet—now comprising 25 truck mixers and four pumps—and on modernising the three production sites to support higher quality standards and lower environmental impact. The company reports a combined production capacity of 350 cubic meters per hour across its facilities.
“To reduce our carbon footprint, we started, in the summer of this year, to optimize concrete mix designs by using new-generation superplasticizers, which allow us to reduce the amount of water and binder consumption, as well as by optimizing the particle size distribution curve, thereby lowering cement requirements and CO₂ emissions,” said Ionuț Vasile, development director at West Beton. “Another important step was launching, in October 2025, the international certification process for issuing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), essential for projects aiming for BREEAM, LEED or EDGE certifications,” he added.
For 2026, West Group plans to expand the fleet further and introduce three additional concrete types—self-compacting, pervious, and concrete designed for aggressive environments. The company also intends to evaluate ISO 14067 certification to measure product-level carbon footprints.
