On 16 June 2026, Tucai Bulgaria EOOD presented the results of its completed energy efficiency project during a closing press conference held in Aydemir.
The project was implemented under Contract No. BG-RRP-4.021-0039-C01, signed with the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works under procedure BG-RRP-4.021 “Support for the energy renovation of buildings in the manufacturing, trade and services sectors”. The project is financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and co-financed by the European Union.
Tukai Bulgaria EOOD is part of TUCAI, an international company founded in Barcelona in 1963. Since expanding into Bulgaria in 2007 with a production facility in Aydemir, the company has supplied high-quality products to European customers while strengthening its position across several industrial sectors.
In 2023, the company applied for support under the Recovery and Resilience Plan and, following approval in 2025, signed the contract for project implementation.
The total value of the investment is €260,764.51, of which €117,344.02 is grant funding.
Project objective
The project aims to improve the energy efficiency of the production facility through energy-saving measures designed to reduce energy costs, enhance operational performance, improve working conditions and strengthen the company’s sustainability and competitiveness.
Energy-saving measures implemented
Several measures aimed at improving the building’s energy performance were implemented as part of the project:
- Thermal insulation of external walls: was installed on the external walls to reduce heat losses and improve the building’s overall energy performance.
- Thermal insulation of the roof: was added to improve heat retention during winter and limit overheating in summer.
- Replacement of old windows and doors: were replaced with PVC frames and thermally insulated doors, reducing energy losses and improving indoor comfort.
- Replacement of heating units: obsolete heating equipment was replaced with high-efficiency inverter units, enabling more efficient heating and cooling while reducing electricity consumption.
Results achieved
The project has significantly improved the energy performance of the production facility. Key results include:
* improved energy efficiency of the production building;
* reduced heat losses through the external walls and roof;
* improved working conditions for employees;
* reduced electricity consumption for heating and cooling;
* optimised operating costs;
* increased sustainability and competitiveness.
Long-term impact
The project contributes to Tucai Bulgaria EOOD’s long-term sustainability and competitiveness by improving energy efficiency and working conditions.Project No. BG-RRP-4.021-0039-C01 is funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and co-financed by the European Union.
