Călărași Steel Works
The Călărași steel works ( ro, Combinatul Siderurgic Călărași), formally Donasid Călărași and formerly Siderca Călărași, is a steel mill in Călărași, Romania. History Origins and growth under communism The genesis of the project took place during the Socialist Republic of Romania, communist regime on a July morning in 1974, when dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, returning from a visit to Constanța, stopped at the garbage mound at the edge of Călărași and decided a steel mill would be built there. Plans were drawn up, construction being delayed the following year mainly due to floods. Final approval for the construction was secured in February 1976, by a decree of the State Council of Romania; production capacity was estimated at 10 million tons of steel per year. The first stake was driven in March 1976, although building, engineered by Bucharest, did not begin in earnest until 1978.
