From the desire to live closer to nature to building an international business, the story of Eco Tiny House is an example of how a personal need can become an entrepreneurial opportunity. Botond Szakács, CEO of the company based in Miercurea Ciuc, talks about the beginnings of tiny houses built on wheels, expansion into European markets, and the launch of Filmore, the tourism operations division created from the experience gained as a manufacturer for some of Europe’s largest camping networks.
Beyond numbers and growth, the discussion highlights the reality of a family business: decisions made as a team, the fragile balance between personal life and business, professionalizing the company while maintaining control. It is a conversation about courage, discipline, and how family values such as loyalty, trust, and flexibility can become the foundation of a company built for the long term.
