About us
We can’t speak for others, but we, the members of the Made in RO team, when we think about the people we know, the places we’ve been, the things we’ve seen, what we are, have been, and will become—everything that Romania means to us—our hearts leap with joy, and we can’t help but feel lucky to be Romanian.
It’s true, Romania is not a perfect country and there is still much to improve, but we haven’t found anywhere else worthy of being called “home.” That’s why we believe it’s worth doing everything we can to make a difference here and now.
We, Romanians, one by one, are the ones who can raise the standard of living in this country, each through our own power. Choosing a Romanian product over a foreign one means a spark of hope for a Romanian producer; it means more revenue for the state budget; it means a happy child whose parents choose to stay and work in Romania; it means bringing a piece of the Romanian soul into your home and enjoying it with your whole family.
The current national context is unfavorable for many entrepreneurs, but we have found a way to spark everyone’s interest in the people here, in their ideas, in the beautiful things they craft and the high-quality services they offer, in everything there is to see, taste, and experience in Romania.
The Fabricat în RO platform supports sustainability and facilitates connections between local producers and lovers of Romanian products. We are committed to promoting traditional Romanian goods and providing solutions so that every Romanian can purchase these products close to their city of residence.
We collaborate with partners who ensure direct deliveries from farms to consumers, eliminating the need for additional warehouses that might generate extra electricity or fuel consumption.
For this, we have created a community united by the same values: knowledge, solidarity, and growth—a community whose name we hope will one day be known by all: the Fabricat in RO community.
