Struma metal
Historically, the forming of the enterprise starts in 1982. In 1985 “Commercial enterprise for cold formed profiles, profiled pipes, metal constructions and products” is founded, a part of which the production of pipes and cold formed profiles in Simitli is.

After the passage of the Trade Law in 1991 it is reformed into sole company with state property “Steel Products” Ltd Simitli.

In 1997 “Struma Metal” Ltd buys up “ Steel Products” Ltd and in 2000 it is transformed into joint-stock company with the current name “Struma Metal” AD.

Currently, the company is a part of the holding structure “RTL Company” AD. Companies in the spheres of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, trade with reinforcing steel, construction, cutlery, greenhousing, hotel-keeping and others come under the umbrella of the holding.

The main activity of “Struma Metal” AD is production of precise electrically welded straight seam pipes, open and welded profiles made of low-carbon steel. The main sales volume takes place in the warehouse in Kurilo, Novi Iskar District, nearby Sofia ring road.

The produced welded pipes vary from Ø 16 to Ø 60.3 with wall thickness from 0.9 to 2.8 mm. The welded profiles are with square or rectangular section varying from 12 x 12 (20 х 10) to 50 х 50 (60 х 40) with the same wall thickness. The opened profiles are in the range from 15 х 15 to 40 х 40 for angles (L-profiles) and from 20 х 10 to 40 х 30 for U-profiles with wall thickness from 1.0 to 2.8 mm. The standard length of the profiles is 6 000 mm. Depending on the specific order, profiles with length from 4 000 to 9 000 mm can be produced.

The key objectives the company has set, are constantly to meet or go beyond our Clients’ expectations, as well as continuously to increase its market share in Bulgaria and abroad. Currently 40% of the production is exported and 60% is released on the internal market. The trend is the correlation to be in favour of export policy, due to Bulgaria’s membership in the European Union, which has tangibly facilitated the trade within the community.

The aim to meet our Clients’ requirements is a first priority principle in the quality management of the company. The implementation of this principle is achieved via thorough and precise definition of our Clients’ current and future needs and their expectations of the product parameters – cost, production term, delivery, etc. Based on marketing researches, analysis of the information from our Clients and their specific requests, the company develops new products as well. There is an existing quality management system ISO 9001: 2000, operating in “Struma Metal” AD.
