Botoșani, July 3, 2026 – Electro-Alfa International (BVB ticker: EAI), a leading Romanian manufacturer of electrical equipment and provider of EPC and IT services, celebrates 35 years of operations, a journey that has transformed an entrepreneurial business founded in Botoșani into a company listed on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, with both national and international operations and a market capitalization exceeding RON 2.2bn.

Over the past 35 years, Electro-Alfa International has continuously evolved through sustained investments in expanding its industrial capabilities, developing proprietary products, advancing research and development, digitalization, integrated services, and strategic partnerships with international industry leaders.

"The past 35 years have provided us with a strong foundation that both enables and challenges us to build the company's next phase of growth. Electro-Alfa International has been built on vision, integrity and respect for people, values that will continue to guide us as we adapt to an industry undergoing profound transformation. Our ambition is to accelerate our international expansion, invest in new technologies and capabilities, and strengthen Electro-Alfa International's position as a Romanian industrial group with regional and European relevance. I believe the best way to honor our 35-year legacy is to build the next 35 years with the same sense of responsibility and the same ambition to create sustainable long-term value," said George Ciubotaru, Vice President of the Board of Directors, Electro-Alfa International.

"Our 35 years anniversary is an opportunity to express gratitude to the people who have built this company and to the customers and partners who have placed their trust in us over the years. Sustainable performance is achieved when success is built on professionalism, collaboration and a commitment to continuous learning. In an industry experiencing rapid transformation, competitive advantage will depend not only on technology but also on organizations capable of attracting, developing and retaining outstanding talent. This remains one of Electro-Alfa International's greatest strengths and a strategic priority as we continue creating sustainable value for our shareholders, customers, employees and the communities in which we operate", said Ștefan Petrea, CEO of Electro-Alfa International.

Today, the company operates five modern manufacturing facilities with a combined production area of more than 35,500 square meters, supported by a network of eight regional branches located in Botoșani, Cluj, Constanța, Craiova, Iași, Bucharest, Alexandria and Chișinău, while collaborating with more than 650 partners worldwide. Its activities span the entire energy infrastructure value chain, from the manufacturing of electrical equipment and metal structures to complex EPC projects and the development of industrial software solutions.

The company's financial performance reflects this sustained growth. Electro-Alfa International ended 2025 with a turnover of over RON 832mn, and the net profit reached a record level of almost RON 100 mn in the same year, while the number of employees increased to over 550 in the first quarter of 2026.

Electro-Alfa International's Initial Public Offering (IPO) in February, followed by its listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange on March 3, represented a natural milestone in the company's evolution, providing access to the capital required to accelerate the execution of its long-term growth strategy. The successful IPO also demonstrated investors' confidence in the company's business model, strategic direction and long-term growth potential.

During its first four months as a listed company, the value of transactions in EAI shares exceeded RON 130mn, while the trading volume represented 18% of the shares sold in the IPO. Over the same period, the share price rose by nearly 36%, increasing the company's market capitalization to more than RON 2.2bn. At the closing of the trading day on July 1, 2026, Electro-Alfa International shares were at a historic closing high of RON 12 per share.

Throughout its 35 years of development, Electro-Alfa International has expanded beyond the Romanian market, building an international footprint based on technical expertise, continuous investment and long-term partnerships. Its first international projects were completed in Ethiopia in 2002, followed by the Republic of Moldova, France, several West African countries, and, beginning in 2018, the United States. Today, the company operates across several strategic markets within the European Union and Ukraine. This international expansion has accelerated significantly in recent years, with exports reaching around 15% from the 2025 turnover, reinforcing Electro-Alfa International's transformation into a regional industrial player with strong international growth prospects.

The company's development strategy has been supported by the creation of an ecosystem of complementary businesses and strategic partnerships that strengthen its capabilities across the entire energy and infrastructure value chain. This ecosystem includes the production of distribution transformers through SGB-ALFA, industrial software development through ALFA Factory Software, railway infrastructure services through SPIACT Craiova, metal fabrication through Electro-Alfa CM, engineering services for complex infrastructure projects through Alfa New Protocol Engineering, and the development of an approximately 52 MW energy storage project through Solar Technologies Consulting.

A Strategy Designed for the Next Decade

The experience accumulated over the past 35 years provides the foundation for Electro-Alfa International's next phase of growth. The company's 2026–2030 strategy focuses on strengthening the company's integrated business model while expanding into new high-growth segments, including photovoltaic projects and energy storage systems, participation in major energy infrastructure modernization initiatives, and capitalizing on opportunities generated by European investment programs.

At the core of this strategy is the recognition that sustainable growth depends not only on investment and expansion, but also on building an organization capable of supporting that growth through expertise, collaboration and the continuous development of its people. The principles that have guided the company's development since 1991 remain unchanged: continuous investment, people development, innovation, and the ability to adapt to an evolving industry.
