We recently had the pleasure of welcoming around 30 apprentices from toom Baumarkt GmbH – from their 1st to 3rd year of training – to our facility in Bernburg. The visit was organized by Ms. Kerstin Nickel, to whom we would like to extend our sincere thanks. 🙌

To accommodate such a large group, we divided the participants into two sessions:

🔹 Factory tour – insights into our production processes, logistics, and quality standards
🔹 Hands-on product training – working with our sheet metal products, basic installation techniques, and practical application tips

By rotating the groups, all apprentices were able to experience both sides of our operations: observing our production up close and getting hands-on practice with our materials. As always, safety came first – protective footwear was mandatory. 👷‍♂️👟

For our team, hosting such a large group of young talents was both inspiring and enriching. Their curiosity, engagement, and willingness to learn made the day truly special and reinforced the value of giving apprentices real-world industry insights.

A big thank you to Ms. Kerstin Nickel and the toom Baumarkt GmbH team for the excellent organization and collaboration – and of course to the apprentices for their enthusiasm and active participation. We’re delighted if this experience helps them provide even better guidance on Bravo products in the future. 😊

We are already looking forward to the next joint project!

Bravo International Group recently attended the Bricomarche Fair in Poznań, Poland, a landmark event in the DIY and construction sector. On this occasion, the company showcased its premium roofing solutions, built direct relationships with international partners, and explored opportunities for expansion into European markets.

As the Bricomarche chain celebrates its 25th anniversary in Poland, the industry is witnessing a growing interest, both in innovation and in regional consolidation.

Attending Bricomarche Fair once again highlighted how much impact a well-designed stand, supported by quality products, can have in generating genuine interest and opening doors to valuable discussions. Visitors appreciated both the structured presentation and the solutions on display, which turned interactions into practical, collaboration-driven conversations. The professional atmosphere and partners’ engagement confirm the strong potential for growth in European markets, where innovation and quality remain decisive factors.

On May 23rd, we had the privilege of joining CEO Build, a unique volunteering and leadership event organized by Habitat for Humanity Romania, held on the construction site in Berceni, Prahova County.

We are proud to share that Bravo International has been invited and has actively taken part in this impactful initiative on every occasion, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to community involvement and meaningful leadership.

Under the inspiring theme “Leadership in Action”, business and civil society leaders came together to build four homes for vulnerable families and to raise awareness about the critical need for social and affordable housing in Romania.

This experience reminded us that leadership is not just about vision - it’s about action, empathy, and being present where help is truly needed.

“Building a home means more than bricks and mortar – it means laying the foundation for a better future.”

A warm “thank you” to Roberto Pătrășcoiu, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Romania, for the invitation and for leading with heart and purpose.

In the context of the MoonShotX initiative, launched by Raiffeisen Bank in partnership with InnovX, Bravo International is among the 13 Romanian companies selected to explore opportunities for expansion in international markets. The program aims to support entrepreneurial firms in their internationalisation efforts, providing them access to knowledge and consultancy to penetrate foreign markets, such as those in the DACH area (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

Bravo International’s participation in MoonShotX reflects the company’s commitment to expanding its international presence and capitalising on the opportunities offered by foreign markets. This initiative emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the banking sector and Romanian entrepreneurship in promoting economic growth and global competitiveness.

When entering foreign markets, you have to be very adaptive. At the beginning, it’s good to start with pilot projects, and if things go well, you can expand further. It can take years, for example, it took us 4 years to enter the French market. You have to allocate enough resources, and you have to be patient enough to succeed.
