Company History

COMPA SA, a prestigious brand of Romanian industry, has earned a reputation over the years for the quality and diversity of its products, auto and railway parts, technological equipment, springs and auto trailers.

Formed by the merger of two companies: Automecanica Plant Sibiu and Elastic Plant Sibiu,, Compa is one of the most powerful economic units in automotive parts manufacturing in the country and continues the tradition harmoniously combining its vast experience with new advances in technology and management.

The first of the two businesses – Automecanica Plant comes from Sibiu Artillery Arsenal whose development is due to the overlap with the historical development of the city of Sibiu.

A second plant – Elastic Plant has deep roots in craft tradition of the city and functioned in nineteenth century as a forge, which later developed into a car body shop and later into a springs and forged products factory.

A milestone in the company’s development is the year 1969 when from the unification of the two factories a new economic entity, Intreprinderea de Piese Auto Sibiu“ (IPAS). (IPAS).
