The company has three locations – in Sofia, Smolyan and Gabrovo and over 1,000 employees.

The company has a Technical Engineering Center (TEC) with more than 140 engineers from different fields taking care of the development of new products, in two locations – Sofia and Gabrovo. The TEC also has a calibration and testing laboratory. In addition, there is an engineering team with over 100 engineers, responsible for the industrialization of new products in manufacture as well as the subsequent maintenance. Also in Sofia is the only prototype section in the concern for the introduction of electronic products.

Festo Production has been transforming at a rapid pace and this year a new modern shopfloor for electronic production was opened.

In 2023, the company has invested over 40 million euro for:

· Modern and high-tech production for electronics and electric drives, as well as for traceability and inventory management software;

· Modernization of production areas and expansion of a specialized warehouse for storage of electronic components.

From a factory for manufacturing of cables and position sensors the company has become the most modern production for electronics in Bulgaria, which includes automation controllers, fluid sensors, proportional valves, servo motors, stepper motors, decentral drives and specific electronic and fluid modules for the medical industry.

In addition to the new shopfloor, the Bulgarian company opened a new TEC office and laboratory in Gabrovo. This contemporary office space employs 15 engineers from different fields and has two laboratories for Functional and Communication Testing and for Hardware Development.

Another important indicator of sustainability is the investment in a photovoltaic park, with which the plant in Sofia reduced by over 20% its direct carbon emissions in Scope 2.

The Bulgarian plant integrates all the main functions needed for innovations – Development, Engineering and Production.

The synergy between them and the partnership with other locations help creating the products of tomorrow. But the most important engine of change are the employees with their competences, commitment and dedication – everyone adds value on the way to making Festo in Bulgaria a technology hub, setting the pulse of innovation and technology.

"We have the ambition and the ability to shape and drive our future," said Kalin Dobrev, General Manager of Festo in Bulgaria. "Driving our Future – this is our motto, chosen by the employees to present the company. The development and production of high-tech products with the Festo brand in Bulgaria are an impetus for the sustainable development and success story of the company."

Фесто Производство ЕООД – двигатели на бъдещето

Фесто Производство e дружество за развой и производство на високотехнологични продукти в направление Електроника и електрически задвижвания, както и модули за управление от последно поколение и изделия за медицинската индустрия. Компанията има три локации – в София, Смолян и Габрово, и над 1000 служители.

Дружеството има Технически инженерен център (ТИЦ) с повече от 140 инженери от различни области, грижещи се за разработката на нови продукти, в две локации – София и Габрово. ТИЦ разполага и с лаборатория за калибриране и изпитване. В допълнение има инженерен екип с над 100 инженери, които отговарят за индустриализацията на нови продукти в производство и последващата им поддръжка. В София се намира и единственият прототипен участък в концерна за въвеждане на електронни продукти.

Фесто Производство се трансформира с бързи темпове. Тази година беше открит нов модерен цех за електронно производство.

През 2023 г. компанията инвестира над 40 милиона евро за:

· Модерно и високотехнологично производство за електроника и електрически задвижвания, както и за софтуер за проследимост и управление на наличности;

· Модернизиране на производствените площи и разширение на специализиран склад за съхранение на електронни компоненти.

От завод за монтаж на кабели и позиционни сензори дружеството се превръща в най-модерно производство за електроника в България, което включва контролери за автоматизация, флуидни сензори, пропорционални вентили, серво мотори, стъпкови мотори, децентрални задвижвания и специфични електронни и флуидни модули за медицинската индустрия.

В допълнение към новия цех българската компания откри и нов офис и лаборатория на ТИЦ в Габрово. В това съвременно офис пространство работят 15 инженери от различни области и има две лаборатории за функционални и комуникационни тестове и за разработка на хардуер.

Друг важен показател за устойчивост е инвестицията във фотоволтаичен парк, с който централата в София намали с над 20% преките си въглеродни емисии в Обхват 2.

Заводът в България интегрира всички основни функции, необходими за иновации – Развой, Инженеринг и Производство.

Синергията между тях и партньорството с други локации спомага за създаването на продуктите на утрешния ден. Но най-важният двигател на промяната са служителите със своите компетенции, ангажираност и отдаденост – всеки добавя стойност по пътя към превръщането на Festo в България в технологичен хъб, задаващ пулса на иновациите и технологиите.

"Имаме амбицията и способността да оформяме и управляваме бъдещето си" – казва Калин Добрев, управител на Festo в България. "Driving our Future – това е нашето мото, избрано от служителите да представя нашата компания. Разработването и производството на високотехнологични продукти с марката Festo в България са тласък за устойчивото развитие и историята на успеха на компанията."
