Kaolin EAD

Founded in 1923, Kaolin EAD is proud of its status as the oldest operating mining enterprise in Bulgaria. Over the years, the company has established itself as a key player in the market thanks to its ability to offer the full range of industrial minerals for the production of glass and ceramics. Becoming one of the largest fireclay producers in the world, Kaolin EAD today operates eight beneficiation factories on the territory of Bulgaria and manages subsidiaries in Serbia and Ukraine.

The company is distinguished by its international presence, exporting its products to more than 30 countries around the world – from Southeast Europe to North Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the USA. This variety of markets underlines the global recognition of Kaolin EAD and its ability to meet the specific requirements and standards of different regions. By providing key materials for construction, foundry, drinking water filtration, etc., the company contributes to the development of a wide range of economic sectors.

After the acquisition by the German group Quarzwerke in 2013, Kaolin EAD consolidated its place in the European mining industry and became part of one of the strongest conglomerates for extraction and processing of industrial minerals. Inclusion in the Quarzwerke group opened the way for the exchange of technology and know-how, which laid the foundations for the introduction of high-tech production in Bulgaria and the establishment of the country as a key factor in the sector of industrial mineral processing.

Kaolin EAD plays an important role for the Bulgarian economy, creating jobs in less developed regions and supporting numerous small and medium-sized enterprises. The company strives not only for business success, but also for sustainable development of the societies in which it operates, proving its commitment to social responsibility and economic progress.
