II.1.2 Industrial activity
In recent years, local investors have been involved
in developing their own activities and increasing
quality levels: 11 companies obtained ISO 9000
quality certificates. In addition to ISO 9000
certification, SC ROMBAT S.A also obtained ISO
14000 certification (environmental protection) and is
currently preparing to obtain the certificate for social
and work protection.
An important step in increasing the competitivity of
the products is currently being taken by SC
TERAPLAST SA which is in the process of
introducing a new high-performance management
system. By introducing the SAP integrated
information system, the company is aiming to
integrate its economic processes with its production
and control processes so that information can
circulate in real time, representing an important tool
for the company’s management in taking fast and
correct decisions. For example, cost and income for
the entire production cycle can be monitored in real
time, which has advantages in terms of production
strategies, productivity growth, cost reduction,
attracting clients, supplying quality products and
motivating staff.
II.1.3 Commerce and services
Commercial activities are performed by private firms
that were developed in the 1990s using old
commercial spaces or new small and medium-sized
modernised spaces. “En detail” and “en gross” trade
has been completely privatised and is performed in
respect of the relevant laws.
Recent years have seen a trend of transforming
apartments located on the ground floor of apartment
blocks into commercial spaces, leading to an increase
in surfaces used for trade without requiring high
investment, to the detriment of larger commercial
spaces that were either inefficiently used (e.g. the
Magura store) or did not meet the requirements of
civilised commerce.
The largest problem is the commercial activity from
affiliated localities, which is weakly developed and
therefore contributes to reducing the quality of life.
A new tendency in the municipality is the appearance
of certain branches of large chain stores such as:
- Flanco – home appliances and computers
- Flamingo – computers
- Altex – home appliances
- ARTIMA – food
- Profi – food
- Casa Ambient – building materials
Despite this, commerce in Bistrita is not well
represented. Products sold on the market are
generally the same and the supply is relatively poor.
There are no Cash&Carry type stores in the
municipality, meaning customers who want a certain
type of product have to travel to cities like Targu
Mures or Cluj.
In Bistrita municipality, green vegetables are sold in 3
food markets, which, although modernised, do not
meet civilised commercial standards. Producers are
often obliged to present their merchandise on
pavements and hygiene conditions are poor. The “en
gross” trade in fresh fruit and vegetables is poorly
organised and there is no special space for this
purpose.
Services offered on the municipality’s market are
various, but do not cover the entire range necessary.
The services focus on the following fields:
- car maintenance and repair
