Today, Kolev Ltd. is one of the leaders in the production of shrink blown films for the soft drink and brewery industry and in flexoprint and manufacture of bags for automated packaging for the bakery industry, since our clients are several of the world’s most famous and leading Bulgarian companies.

The history of the company begins on February 2, 1991, when with a decision of the Haskovo District Court – company case No.867 – the company, Rikar – Kolev-Roussev and partners, was created. It was then renamed to Kolev Ltd.

In the beginning, the company was engaged in commercial activities, such as import and export of various products. In 1995, the company purchased and installed its first extruder and began the manufacture and sale of polyethylene films for the agriculture.

Now, these products represent only a small part of the production of the company.

In 2002, the renovated and modernized factory for plastic packaging expanded the company in the production of packaging for the brewery and food industry.

The increasing demand for packaging with high quality flexoprint led to the construction and commissioning in 2008 of a new factory for flexible packaging, which deals with the production of full-color flexographic print.

The company’s flexoprinting technical capabilities were greatly improved in 2014 with the purchase and introduction of another flexoprinting machine, which allows up to 8 colors of print and one of the widest flexoprint sizes in Bulgaria – 1270 mm.
