New Romanian market

Meet our first BKF self-service car wash in Romania!

In September, the largest BKF self-service car wash was opened in Romania. RACE CAR WASH, the car wash in question, is located in Buzău, in the southern part of Romania. The investment covers an area of 2000 square metres. This is the first car wash of its kind and size in Romania!

“We are happy to enter the Romanian market, the first implementation on a new market is always very inspiring for us,” says Radomir Ronka, commercial director of BKF CarWash.

What do “spălătorie” look like in Romania?

Self-service car washes, called “spălătorie”, have only recently appeared on the Romanian market. When you visit this country, you’ll quickly notice the differences. The standard there is completely different from the one we are used to at car washes in Europe. You will not find designer, well-lit canopies there. You will see most of the car washes located right next to an existing business, under a regular corrugated roof. Hand car washes are still the standard on the Romanian market, where employees manually write a card with the car’s registration number, date and time of washing. The whole car wash business is personally supervised by the owner of the car wash :).

The dynamic development of BKF

Thanks to the creation of a new production hall in Skarbimierzyce, we have additional space at our disposal to gradually increase our production. We are all the more pleased with the implementation of the next target adopted in the sales strategy. Romania is an important point on the map of BKF’s further expansion.
