Foreign growth
Nolte Mezzanine has grown steadily since opening its first foreign office in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, over a year ago. Since the initial appointment of a mechanical engineer in early 2023, the company now has a thriving office in central Moldova with five dedicated employees. This growth has led to new vacancies being advertised, with the company planning to double its workforce over the next 12 months.
Manuel Villena, CEO of Nolte Mezzanine, explains: “We were finding it increasingly difficult to find qualified personnel in the Netherlands, which prompted us to look elsewhere. Moldova proved to be the ideal destination because of the abundance of highly qualified technical professionals.”
Dutch production
Although Nolte Mezzanine is accelerating its investments in Moldova, Villena stresses that the company also continues to grow in the Netherlands and recently invested in the expansion of their office facilities in De Goorn. “Our growth is driven by our increasing export activities to various countries. We currently export to 12 countries and expect to enter another three new markets this year,” he adds. The company stresses that production still takes place in the Netherlands and there are no plans to change this.
Maaike Keizer, plv Ambassador of the Dutch Embassy Moldova, responds enthusiastically to Nolte Mezzanine’s expansion in the region. “Moldova is growing rapidly and locals are eager to work for Dutch companies. We welcome the expansion of Nolte Mezzanine and are happy to continue supporting Dutch entrepreneurs in their international growth ambitions.”
