“GIPS AD” is located near the village of Koshava, Vidin district, and is the only factory in Bulgaria for the extraction of raw gypsum and its firing. Originally, the factory became functional on December 25, 1965.
In 2007, approximately 8 million BGN were invested for the factory reconstruction and modernization of the technological process; two new production lines were installed:
Line 1: Production of dry aggregates based on gypsum.
Line 2: Production of dry aggregates based on cement.
The new lines have been running since September 2007.
The investment program of the joint-stock company includes continuous production improvement, in line with the latest technologies that exist in the EU and other countries.
For that exact reason, the building of an installation for sand screening and sand drying is in progress. The material will be used for the manufacture of new products- based on cement and gypsum; in addition, it will satisfy the customer demand for dried sand.
