Electronic signature in Timișoara: a guide for companies working with Romania’s automotive centre
Timișoara is Romania’s third-largest city and the industrial and technology centre of western Romania. Continental, Dräxlmaier, Yazaki and other international automotive corporations have built production plants here. At the same time the IT sector is growing — Timișoara was European Capital of Culture in 2023, which raised its international profile further. For companies trading with Timișoara partners, electronic signatures are an effective tool.
Why Timișoara companies are digitising their signing

Timișoara’s automotive plants and their sub-suppliers generate an enormous volume of supply contracts, NDAs and framework commercial agreements. An audit trail is mandatory in every supplier audit.
2. IT and technology sector
Timișoara has a growing IT scene with several international outsourcing centres. Service contracts and work agreements are signed digitally — speed is critical.
3. International manufacturing capacity
Manufacturing firms in Timișoara collaborate with suppliers from across the EU. Supply contracts must be concluded quickly and with a verifiable audit trail — electronic signatures deliver exactly that.
Legal framework
Electronic signatures in Romania are governed by:
- eIDAS (EU 910/2014) — valid in all EU member states
- Legea nr. 455/2001 privind semnătura electronică — Romania’s Electronic Signature Act
For the vast majority of commercial documents an advanced electronic signature (AdES) is sufficient. A qualified signature (QES) is required only for certain official acts.
