What GM does

GM EOOD (Г.М. ЕООД) is a privately held Bulgarian limited liability company headquartered at 1528 Sofia, 1 Poruchik Hr. Toprakchiev Str., operating a single integrated grain-processing and ethanol production facility that traces its operational lineage to 1921. The company manufactures high-purity ethyl alcohol from non-GMO corn and wheat (including a luxury-grade rectified spirit and a grain-based brandy distillate), biocide-grade ethanol for pharmaceutical and cosmetics buyers, technical denatured ethanol, glucose syrups (produced via enzymatic hydrolysis of starch since the 1980s), dextrin (via thermochemical processing of corn starch), and fermodyl (DDG's), the dry grain residue sold as protein-rich animal feed.

The underlying technology is a fully automated, end-to-end process chain comprising grain silos, a preparatory zone, a fermentation zone, rectification columns, an in-house fermodyl factory, and automated warehouses, supported by an ISO/IEC 17025:2006-accredited laboratory (BAS reg. № 16TL). The product mix is differentiated by purity tier and regulatory classification rather than by chemistry, with multiple SKUs spanning minimum 96% vol. food-grade spirits, EU 528/2012 biocide ethanol, and various denatured technical grades.

GM EOOD runs a direct B2B sales motion through a dedicated sales department and a website inquiry channel, targeting five horizontal end-markets: food and beverage (primary), pharmaceutical and cosmetics (primary), chemical and industrial manufacturing, animal feed, and industrial adhesives. The company is the only Bulgarian producer registered on the European Chemical Agency's Article 95 list for biocide ethyl alcohol, giving it a regulatory foothold for EU cosmetics and pharmaceutical buyers. Ethyl alcohol pricing is not publicly disclosed and is subject to Bulgarian and EU excise taxation; no subscription, licensing, or recurring-revenue mechanics are indicated.

Revenue model

1. Ethyl Alcohol Production and Sales: Production and sale of high-quality ethyl alcohol including food-grade ethanol (corn, wheat), pharmaceutical/cosmetics ethanol, and technical ethanol. Revenue generated from direct B2B sales to beverage manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, cosmetics producers, and chemical industry clients. Products comply with Regulation 110/2008 for spirit drinks.
2. Glucose Syrups: Production and sale of glucose syrups obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Used in confectionery, chocolate, soft drinks, and food industries.
3. Fermodyl (DDG's Animal Feed): Sale of fermodyl - dry grain spirit-producing residue (DDG's) used as animal feed for cattle, pigs, poultry, and fish. This is a co-product from ethanol production.
4. Dextrin: Production and sale of dextrin - a derivative obtained through thermochemical processing of corn starch, used for adhesives, foundry, textile, and mining industries.
5. Grain Distillate (GM Brendy Distillate): Production of alcoholic liquid obtained through single and/or double distillation of saccharified grain mash for use in branded spirit production.
