2022 Retrospective and 2023 Outlook

In 2022, over 31,000 construction sites were at various stages of development nationwide—from design to setup and recently completed—with an estimated value of over 400 billion lei and a total estimated area of 128 million sqm, according to data centralized from construction sites by IBC Focus. The residential sector led this dynamic, followed by the industrial sector, then offices/commercial, and Horeca.

For us at KADRA, 2022 was a year with many challenges, but we ended it better than the previous one. There were many projects won in those areas where our solutions are already recognized for their reliability and ability to meet user needs: Tormed hospital doors, revolving doors for commercial facilities, Parkomatic automated parking management systems, fire protection solutions (hatches, fire curtains, special RF doors) were the stars of last year.

The areas we will focus on in 2023 remain projects in the healthcare, commercial, and industrial sectors. We will also pay special attention to the Horeca sector, where interesting investments are announced and where our solutions will surely find their place: from elegant revolving doors for hotel or guesthouse access, to safe fire protection or natural ventilation solutions, to the much-needed parking facilities near tourist attractions.

382 projects in the Hotel and Leisure sector were under construction nationwide, according to the Victa platform, developed by consultants from IBC Focus. Cumulatively, these occupy an area of 3.95 million sqm, and the investment value amounts to an estimated 8.73 billion lei.

Urban infrastructure or smart mobility projects, whether public parking or automated bicycle parking for which we offer the BikeTower solution, airport modernizations, stadiums or sports centers, facilities where access control and security needs are essential, are also at the top of our list of concerns for the year that has just begun.

From Oradea to Bucharest, from Cluj to Timisoara, from Sibiu to Galati, from Constanta to Rarau, our teams have been on the ground to advise, implement, and service access control solutions for the most diverse projects.

Among the commercial area projects we recently completed: Funshop Turda and Vaslui retail parks for which we provided automatic doors, Kaufland Ungheni and Ira in Cluj for which we delivered fire-resistant curtains, Ploiesti Central Market for which we installed automatic doors, Red Sevens gaming halls network for which we delivered automatic doors.

For automated parking projects with the Parkomatic system, we recently completed: the underground parking at Central Market and Unirii Square in Deva, the parking at Central Market and Small Square in Suceava, the parking near Timisoara hotel, the parking at the slope in Campulung Moldovenesc, etc.
