Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Constanta, Romania, the company operates bulk handling facilities located in the Port of Constanta at deep-water berths, serving as a multimodal transport hub connecting the Danube River corridor and Central and Eastern Europe with global maritime shipping lanes. The company is publicly listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CMVX and operates primarily through two core business divisions: the Mineral Bulk Terminal and the Agricultural Grain Terminal.

In recent operational and strategic developments, COMVEX SA has executed major expansion and modernization initiatives to address shifting trade flows across the Black Sea basin and Central and Eastern Europe. The company substantially expanded its agricultural logistics throughput to accommodate increased grain export volumes originating from Romania, the broader Danube basin, and Ukraine, optimizing high-speed barge unloading infrastructure and expanding dedicated rail intake capacity to alleviate regional bottlenecking. To enhance operational sustainability and manage rising energy costs, COMVEX implemented a major green energy transition project involving the construction and integration of on-site photovoltaic solar installations to power its terminal machinery and facilities. Furthermore, the company has completed technological upgrades across its conveyor systems, specialized ship loaders, and material handling equipment at Berths 80-84, while entering expanded multi-year handling agreements with multinational agribusiness groups and global mineral trading enterprises to consolidate its position as the premier deep-water bulk terminal in southeastern Europe.
