At the beginning of 2016, when the insolvency proceedings were opened, the company employed about 182 people. The Technosteel LBR Creditors’ Meeting approved the company’s business reorganization plan in August 2018, so that at the end of 2019 the workforce still had 54 maintenance employees.

Technosteel LBR Iasi had a loss of 7.1 million lei (about 1.5 million euro) in 2019. At the same time, the company had fixed assets worth a total of 90 million lei (almost 18 million euro).

The company owns 43 industrial buildings on the 9.3 hectare site, built between 1984 and 1989, and the area, although predominantly industrial, could become residential following the redevelopment of the town, as it is already served by the nearby Carrefour Felicia shopping center.

Technosteel LBR SRL was set up in 2003 to produce cold rolled strip in the form of coils. In 2005, following an extensive reuse and re-engineering process, the production equipment was automated, new processing equipment was purchased, modern fixed length slitting and wrapping technology was developed and a quality control and testing system was implemented.

In 2007-2009 the mechanical and chemical testing laboratory was equipped with a spectral analysis machine, a static tensile testing machine and a hydrostatic pipe testing press. But in 2016, after just seven years, the company went into insolvency.
