The Laminor Hall of the Republica Pipe Factory

Posted on

The construction of the Republica industrial complex on Basarabia Boulevard is credited to Romanian industrialist of Greek origin, Nicolae Malaxa. Starting in the 1920s, Malaxa developed workshops dedicated to the repair and production of locomotives. In 1921, he purchased land on the outskirts of Bucharest and established a locomotive repair workshop that bore his name. The project proved highly successful, leading to rapid expansion. By 1928, the first “Malaxa” locomotive was produced, followed by an additional hundred within five years. During the 1930s, Malaxa initiated new projects, including the Republica pipe factory.
