Characteristics Regarding the Restructuring of Borzeºti Industrial Platform

Borzeºti Industrial Platform was built after the year of 1950 as a result of country’s industrialization made by the communist administration. Thus, the great industrial units appeared: the Refinery no. 10, the Chemical Plant, the Synthetic Rubber Plant which formed the Borzeºti Petrochemical Platform, the Steam Power Plant and the Chemical Equipment Enterprise were also remarkable and in all these over 22,000 of employees were working as of the late 80’s. In the post-December period these industrial units have passed to massive restructuring because they had reduced very much the activity, moreover numerous sections ceased activity due to the lack of raw materials as a result of loosing certain marketplaces or of the reduced investments during the last decades. After the year 2000 the industrial giants from the platform barely work and a few companies have closed turning into unemployed thousands of people, who had to search for work abroad.
