as well as the Dacia Duster.and Sandero too.
The Duster for the UK is made in India. Ford have a plant in Craiova which makes the B-max. There’s at lot of things made in Romania by some big companies. Pirelli have a factory near Slatina, Continental Tyres in Sibiu, Dacia in Pitesti, Alro Aluminium in Slatina, Hella in Timisoara plus 100’s of others in places I haven’t been.
UKIP anyone?

Yes many of Brits went to Romania for textiles hanging garments transport like Bergen, Prima, DTS, Bianca etc in 1990s then in about 1995 till 2010 Romanian start to take over and start to transport to UK regulars like Giro, Opreans, Ionas Transport and hundreds of 7.5t Romanian box trucks but now I believe now Romanian textiles industry have gone dead by now due China, India and Asia which are more cheap to produce textiles.

ROM didn’t produce the textiles it cut the cloth.
