Sredna gora has been working for the Swedish company IKEA which is a global leader in the field of furniture production for 30 years. Sredna Gora AD exports over 98% of its production to countries all over the world. At this time the company is producing mainly chairs of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) and beech tree (Fagus). We work with Bulgarian materials.
Last  month our average daily output was 2298 chairs. Same results we achieved in 2008 which was one of the busiest years for us, Mr. Paleshutski explained. We are now in a much better position compared to 2009 when our production had gone down to 1200 chairs, he added.
