Investments in the Bulgarian metallurgical sector amounted to EUR 2.15 billion in the past twenty years. It became clear at the celebrations of the Day of Metallurgist marked at the Pirdop Copper Plant. Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev pointed out that nearly 1% of the world and 8% of the European produce in the metallurgy sector is manufactured in Bulgaria.
