Arsenal AD a Bulgarian weapons manufacturer will create 200 new jobs. The new jobs will be in its new weapons production facility in Stara Zagora. Since mid-may the company has become the new owner of the former Svetlina plant in Stara Zagora. For the needs of the new branch, the company will hire computer engineers, electrical and machine fitters, CNC machines operators and others. At the beginning, 200 to 300 jobs are expected to be created with a tendency to increase to 500.
The new branch will operate as a separate production facility within the company's Plant 1, and will eventually become a separate plant within the company. The plan of the company's management is to start operating it as early as next month and to have it equipped with the necessary equipment and personnel.
