copyright © 2005 eBearing Inc.

AVAS, the Authority for State Assets Recovery -- Romania's privatization agency -- has published all the necessary information potential bidders for Rulmentul Brasov may need.

The information sheets are available through AVAS, and are also published on its website:

The necessary information is available here on the AVAS website:

There are September 3 and September 19 deadlines for bidders.

Founded in 1949, Rulmentul SA Brasov is Romania's largest bearing manufacturing company. Under RBR and URB (Uzina Rulmentul Brasov) brands, the company manufactures ball bearings, linear bearings, tapered roller bearings, and needle roller bearings.

A portion of Rulmentul Brasov's stock began public trading in 1994, and the company was nominally privatized in 2000. It is publicly traded (BSE symbol: RBR), but 51% owned by AVAS.

Early in 2005, the International Monetary Fund reached agreements with the Government of Romania to enact a strict governmental and financial reforms package.

As part of that package, Romania has agreed to privatize or shut down its three largest money-losing enterprises -- electrical equipment maker Electroputere Craiova, tractor plant Tractorul Brasov, and bearing maker S.C. Rulmentul SA Brasov. The IMF deadline is December 31, 2005.
