In a bid to enhance its service to customers in Eastern Europe, the German plastic component moulder Inotech is constructing a new plant at Kostinbrod in Bulgaria.
Inotech, based in Nabburg near the German-Czech border, intends to lay foundations for the new facility in the industrial area North-West of the Bulgarian capital – Sofia later this year. The plant will be equipped with injection moulding machines from 300 to 1,500 tonnes clamping force, as well as painting, printing and laser marking facilities.
Last year the company initiated talks with a long-term partner over the project to form the new Bulgarian operation Inotech BG. Inotech already cooperates with the Kostinbrod-based Bulgarian moulder POPP EOOD which has 11 injection moulding machines of up to 250 tonnes. In November 2013, Inotech’s owner and chief executive Josef Gleixner signed a partnership deal to establish the new plant in Bulgaria.
