The Solvay Group, whose headquarters is in Brussels and has employees in 62 countries, entered the Bulgarian market in 1997. The plant in Devnya - Solvay Sodi AD deals with the synthetic production of soda ash. It is the largest soda plant in Bulgaria as well as in Europe, providing about 1% of the country's total exports. The areas where exports are concentrated are the Balkan Peninsula, the Middle East, Russia, the Mediterranean basin, Asia, Africa, and South America. The products come into use in aircraft, automobiles, batteries, smart devices, medical devices, as well as in the extraction of minerals, oil, and gas.
