Romania
Index
Annual production of machine tools in the two decades
after
1965 expanded more than six-fold in terms of tonnage. At
the same
time, ever more sophisticated units were manufactured, and
the
monetary value of output rose by a factor of thirty-one.
During the
1980s in particular, Romania pushed to replace imported
machinetool technology with its own products and began designing
and
building high-precision units featuring numerical control,
automatic lines, and flexible processing cells. The
Scientific
Research and Technological Engineering Institute for
Machine Tools,
established in 1966, coordinated a successful research and
design
program that placed Romania among the world's top ten
machine-tool
manufacturers in the 1980s. Romania manufactured 35.5
percent of
the universal and specialized machine tools on the Comecon
product
list--second only to the Soviet Union.
Data as of July 1989
