Rosa AD (Bulgaria)

Rosa AD is a company located in Popovo, Bulgaria. It has a long-standing tradition in the production of sunflower oil, dating back to 1918 when the factory known as "Olio Donevi" was founded. Initially, the production was primitive, using a metal tray for roasting the seeds and a manual wooden press for extracting the oil. Over time, the technology gradually improved and modernized, leading to increased production. The company "Rosa" was established in 1991 and privatized in 1997, registering as a private joint-stock company. Rosa AD specializes in the production of vegetable oils without extraction. It is equipped with a technological line for moisture-thermal treatment, pressing, and filtering of the raw oils. The company also has facilities for full refining, mechanized bottling lines, and a laboratory for quality control. It operates on three sites - a production site and two storage bases. The company employs 160 highly qualified managers, specialists, and workers who are given continuous opportunities to enhance their knowledge and experience. Rosa AD offers a range of products including raw and refined sunflower oils, expeller, filter cake, high-calorie briquettes made from sunflower husks, and by-products obtained during the oil refining process such as fatty acids and hydrate cakes. They process raw oil and sunflower seeds into meal.
