A global leader in the production of robotic and minimally invasive surgical equipment has officially opened a new manufacturing facility in Parvomay, Plovdiv Province, as part of its planned expansion in Europe, BNR Plovdiv reports.
The American company Intuitive's new site in Plovdiv Province will produce 3D endoscopes and micro-optical components for da Vinci systems, a robotic surgical platform used by almost 90,000 surgeons worldwide.
This is the company’s first facility in Bulgaria and its third in Europe after Germany. The investment amounts to €42 million.
“Bulgaria stands out for its established capacity in optical manufacturing, strategic location, and reliable access to engineering talent,” emphasised Harald Haigis, the company’s Managing Director for Europe.
The facility already employs more than 110 people, with the potential for this number to grow to 300.
