With the acquisition of the company K.E.L. in Bulgaria, Böllhoff is expanding its global network.

The contract was signed at K.E.L.'s headquarters in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria. With this signature, the Bulgarian distributor of joining and fastening technology is now part of the Böllhoff Group and strengthens our global presence – with our own locations in 26 countries now. Before the takeover, K.E.L. and Böllhoff already had a successful business relationship over many years.

New location as a basis for further expansion in the Bulgarian market

The aim of the Böllhoff site in Bulgaria is to support local customers with our entire know-how in the field of joining technology – and thus gain further market share. Numerous tier 1 suppliers to the automotive industry are represented on the Bulgarian market, among others. In addition, the country also has strong sheet metal and aluminium processing industries.

A total of 6 employees work in the new Böllhoff office and warehouse in Pazardzhik. Depending on market developments, further employees will be added in the future.

"We are pleased to announce that Bulgaria is now the 26th country to have its own Böllhoff subsidiary worldwide. A warm welcome to the Böllhoff Group, dear local team!" - Wilhelm A. Böllhoff, Member of company management
