Following a construction period of around one year, the building ex-tension at the Bozhurishte production site was officially opened yesterday by the MULTIVAC Management Board. The guests at the inauguration ceremony included Nikola Stoyanov, Bulgarian Minister of Economy and Industry, and Dr Antoaneta Bares, managing direc-tor of National Company Industrial Zones EAD. Additional production and assembly facilities, as well as state-of-the-art offices, covering a total area of around 5,600 square metres, are now available for use. The investment amounted to around six million euros.
„With the completion of our new building, we are delighted that we can significantly increase our capacity on-site in sheet metal manufacturing, as well as electrical and mechanical assembly. Thanks to the very latest manufacturing technology, the factory is highly efficient and offers ideal production conditions,” said Dr Christian Lau, group president (chief op-erating officer) of MULTIVAC.
In addition to the Bulgarian factory, MULTIVAC has twelve more production sites in Germany, Austria, Spain, Brazil, China, Japan and the USA, and a further factory is currently being built in India.
