How Romanian Supplier Builds and Verifies Its Company Data

In short. Romanian Supplier lists 11,113 Romanian companies (September 2026). Every profile identifies a real, registered Romanian business and is reviewed by our team before it is published. Company-supplied details — products, certifications, export markets, employee counts — are declared by the company or imported from trade data and are labelled as such; we do not audit factories. This page explains where each piece of data comes from, what "verified" does and does not mean on this platform, how often data is refreshed, and how a buyer should complete due diligence.

Where do the company profiles come from?

Profiles reach the platform in two ways.

Companies that register themselves. A Romanian manufacturer, exporter or service company creates an account, fills in its profile, uploads products, brands, solutions or services, and submits it. Nothing is published until an administrator has reviewed the submission. These profiles are the richest: they carry photographs, catalogues, product specifications and a direct messaging channel to the company.

Companies added from export data. The bulk of the directory — the roughly 11,000 profiles that make it useful as a map of Romanian industry — was built from records of Romanian companies with export activity, enriched with the company's public description, location and activity classification. Each record was matched to a registered legal entity and classified into one of 18 industries derived from the Harmonized System (HS) sections used in customs statistics. These companies can claim their profile at any time; until they do, the profile shows the imported information and a "listed" status.

What does "verified" mean on Romanian Supplier?

We use the word carefully. For every published profile we confirm that the company is a registered Romanian legal entity with the stated name and location, and that the profile was reviewed by a person before publication. We remove profiles when we learn that a company has been dissolved or cannot be matched to a registered entity.

We do not independently verify certifications, production capacity, export volumes or customer references. Those fields are declared by the company or derived from the imported trade data, and on imported profiles they can be generic. A certification shown on a profile is a claim to be checked with the issuing body, not a guarantee. If you see an obviously wrong detail, tell us and we will correct it.

How is the data classified?

Every company belongs to one or more of 18 industries: machinery & electrical equipment, metals, plastics & rubber, chemicals, textiles & apparel, furniture, wood, paper & packaging, optical & medical instruments, vehicles & transport equipment, stone, ceramics & glass, food & beverages, agriculture, leather, minerals & fuels, footwear, animal products, and fats & oils. The taxonomy follows the HS sections, so it maps directly onto Romania's customs export statistics and onto the categories buyers use when they search. Each industry has a directory page, for example metals & metal products, and can be combined with any of Romania's 41 counties plus Bucharest, for example textile manufacturers in Iași.

Locations are normalised to the county level from the address the company supplied; 99% of profiles resolve to a county. Export markets are recorded as the countries a company declares or that appear in its trade records.

How current is the data?

Claimed profiles are updated by the companies themselves and reviewed when they change. Imported profiles are refreshed in batches; the current dataset was classified in September 2026. Statistics quoted in our guides and articles carry the date on which they were extracted from the database, and the counts on directory pages are computed live.

How should a buyer complete due diligence?

Treat any listing — on this platform or on any other directory — as the start of a check, not the end of it. The steps that experienced buyers take before an order:

1. Confirm the legal entity. Every Romanian company has a unique fiscal code (CUI). Its registration, VAT status and annual financial statements are public on the Ministry of Finance and Trade Registry websites, and EU VAT numbers can be validated in the VIES system.
2. Validate certificates. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949 and similar certificates can be checked with the certification body that issued them or through the IAF CertSearch database. Ask for the certificate number and expiry date.
3. Ask for references in your market. Two customer references or anonymised shipping documents to your country tell you more than any profile.
4. Verify capability. For engineered products ask for a sample, a first-article inspection report or a short capability questionnaire; for food, textiles or furniture ask for the relevant scheme certificate (IFS/BRCGS, OEKO-TEX, FSC) and audit reports.
5. Visit or audit. Romania is a two-hour flight from most of Europe; a one-day factory visit is the cheapest insurance on a new relationship. Third-party audits are widely available.
6. Put terms in writing. Incoterms, payment terms, quality plan, tooling ownership and lead times, before the first purchase order.

What is the platform's business model?

Romanian Supplier is free for buyers. Romanian companies can list a basic profile free of charge and can pay for a premium subscription that adds catalogue uploads, more products and higher placement in listings; subscriptions are handled directly with our team, and paid placement never changes the facts shown on a profile. The platform is operated by Fabricat în RO, an organisation that has promoted Romanian producers since 2014.
