Founded in 1967, the company has grown into one of Europe's largest producers of polypropylene films, with 5 modern production and logistics centers across 3 countries. It serves over 1000 clients in more than 50 markets with a catalog of over 100 products. The company's product portfolio includes a wide range of films: metalized, transparent, plain, antifog, matt, label, barrier, tobacco, and other special types suitable for food and non-food packaging, tape, label, and tobacco applications. Plastchim-T also produces flexible woven packaging, PP bags, FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk containers), and polypropylene yarn.

History

Plastchim-T was established in 1967 in Tervel, Bulgaria. In 1977, the company started production of polypropylene yarn and polyethylene films. In 1990, it began producing flexible big bags (FIBC). The company was privatized in 1996 through mass privatization, after which shares were concentrated in the then-director Aydan Faik and the Eurohold conglomerate, which later withdrew in 2016. In 2004, Plastchim-T launched its first BOPP line, followed by its first metallizer (Galileo) in 2007. The company continued to expand with a second BOPP line in 2010, a first CPP line in 2012, a third BOPP line in 2014, and a second CPP line and second metallizer (Applied TOP MET) in 2017. In 2018, a fourth BOPP line was launched. In 2020, a joint venture with Tatrafan Plastchim LLC was formed. In 2021, a third metallizer (Nordmeccanica Powermet) was launched. In 2022, Plastchim-T launched the world's first hybrid BOPE/BOPP line. In 2024, Manucor and Plastchim Ukraine joined the Plastchim Group. As of 2022, Plastchim-T had sales revenues of 525 million Bulgarian leva. By sales volume, it is the largest enterprise in the Dobrich region and the second largest in Bulgaria in the sector of manufacturing plastic sheets, plates, tubes, and profiles, after Pipelife Bulgaria.
