ITD

What ITD does

ITD is a privately held Bulgarian plastic packaging manufacturer established in 1990, headquartered in Saedinenie, Bulgaria. The company produces PET preforms, PET, PE, and PP bottles, HDPE and PET vials, closures, and handles, serving business customers in the beverage, food, household chemicals, and cosmetics industries across Europe for more than 35 years. Its operational base includes newly built production facilities equipped with modern fully electric machinery, including palletizing and leak-testing automation supplied by Delta Engineering.

The company's vertical integration spans mould design and manufacture (blow moulds, injection moulds, vacuum forms, and active spare parts) alongside finished packaging production, allowing it to control tooling lead times and packaging economics for customers. A material differentiator is its 2012 investment in a Starlinger "super clean" recycling line, which produces EFSA- and FDA-approved food-grade rPET from post-consumer bottles, enabling ITD to offer lightweight, recyclable packaging and merchant rPET material aligned with EU recycled-content mandates. ITD holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and FSSC 22000 certifications and operates a sales-led B2B model with direct customer engagement, quote-based pricing, and long-tenured supply relationships, including a 20+ year strategic partnership with Bulgarian beverage producer KAMENITZA AD.

ITD generates revenue through one-time sales of manufactured packaging products and rPET material to enterprise customers, supported by mould manufacturing, mould repair, and packaging redesign engineering services. It employs more than 250 people and distributes directly to European businesses via its internal sales department, with no disclosed online transaction channel, no public ownership, and no external funding rounds.
