A total of 65 Bulgarian suppliers produced 167 million parts for the manufacture of refrigerators and freezers in 2025, show the latest data from the German division Liebherr Appliances, as reported by the Trakia Economic Zone (TEZ). The value of direct materials supplied by Bulgarian companies and used in production amounts to EUR 83 million, with EUR 62 million of that going to the Liebherr Hausgerate Marica plant, located in the Trakia Economic Zone.

Key Bulgarian partners include companies such as Gotmar, Gama Plast, Intechna, Bunay, Tela, Tanevplast, and Moni MG. They supply critical components and ensure the high standards of quality, efficiency, and reliability required by the German group, according to TIZ.

In addition to suppliers of direct materials, Liebherr Hausgerate Marica also partners with a number of Bulgarian companies in the fields of logistics, personnel transportation, recruitment, energy supply, information technology, waste recycling, and catering. The total turnover of these partnerships is expected to reach nearly EUR 20 million by 2025.

The company reports that Bulgarian suppliers are playing an increasingly key role in the development of production. Some of the benefits resulting from this cooperation include increased manufacturing competitiveness, the creation of sustainable employment, and the development of the technological capacity of Bulgarian companies.

A month ago, the German industrial group Liebherr made one of its largest investments in Bulgaria - EUR 90 million - in a new production and warehousing facility in the Trakia Economic Zone.
