  • In the heat and dust of a post-communist industrial mill, we see a Bulgarian copper manufacturing process made small against the scale of the Pirdop copper smelting refinery. The refinery is the biggest in the Balkans and whole of South-Eastern Europe. It was privatized in 1997 for $80,000,000 and is now owned by the German Aurubis. It has a capacity of 160,000 tons and additional capacity of 180,000 tons worth €82,000,000 is being built. The factory also produces 830,000 tons of sulphuric acid and employs 1,420 workers. Pirdop is a town located in South-West Bulgaria of Sofia Province in the south-eastern part of the Zlatitsa.
