This is no accident as the plant is an emblematic example of the fact that some 30 percent of the 100 largest investors in Bulgaria are actually German companies. This is the leading copper processing plant in Southeast Europe, producing 1.2 million tons of copper concentrate and 1.2 million tons of sulfuric acid annually.

The investment program of the company until 2018 totals 180 million euros, it was reported.
