Also present at the inauguration were Regina Escher, Swiss Ambassador to Bulgaria; Borislav Stefanov, Director of the Bulgarian Investment Agency; and Boni Bonev, Director of the Bulgarian-Swiss Chamber of Commerce. All expressed their support and satisfaction with the investment made in the country. Following the ceremony, the company's top representatives, along with the President of Bulgaria, toured the plant, observing each stage of production, carried out under the strictest quality control.

At the end of the visit, President Plevneliev reiterated the idea of ​​developing a high-tech park in Bulgaria in collaboration with R&M, an action that undoubtedly lays the groundwork for future joint projects.

This major step in the Bulgarian market makes R&M a pioneer in the production of fiber and copper solutions for communications networks in the country. With the company's investment, Bulgaria is beginning to make history in what was previously a non-existent industry. This will also create jobs (studies indicate up to 150 positions will be created by the end of 2012) and foster greater collaboration among Bulgarian companies.

“Reichle & De-Massari Bulgaria Production EOOD” will be the backbone and an important part of the large international R&M family, playing a key role within it.

According to Paulo Campos, Managing Director of R&M Iberia, the new fiber optic production unit will allow R&M to continue investing in this technology, developing new solutions and increasing its production capacity. The impact on service and competitiveness of these solutions will be visible in the short term.
