Energoremont Galabovo

What Energoremont Galabovo does

Energoremont Galabovo AD is a Bulgarian industrial manufacturer founded in 1969 in Galabovo, Stara Zagora Region, adjacent to the Maritsa Iztok coal-fired power complex. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs large-scale pressure equipment — boilers, membrane walls, heating surfaces, serpentine coils, collectors, and steam superheaters — primarily for thermal power plants, waste incineration plants, and pulp-and-paper recovery boiler applications, with capabilities extending to components exceeding 26 meters in length for trans-European shipment. It self-positions among the Top 3 European manufacturers of pressure equipment and membrane panels for thermal power and waste incineration, and operates six specialized workshops (tube serpentines, membrane panels, elbows/collectors, mechanical processing, electrical equipment, and crane components) across over 48,000 sq m of production area.

The company's underlying technology rests on certified heavy steel fabrication: 87 EN ISO 15614-1 welding procedure qualifications, an in-house accredited NDE laboratory (ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Type C with 17 certified inspectors), an EU Pressure Equipment Directive Module H1 approval, AD 2000-Code, EN 1090 EXC 4, and ISO 3834-2 welding shop certification. It also runs a licensed vocational training center (since 2003, in partnership with TÜV Rheinland Bulgaria) that has trained over 2,200 welders and technicians in 21 years, supporting 160+ in-house welders — a talent moat that is structurally difficult to replicate in a sector with acute welding shortages across Europe.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based, multi-year contracts for custom equipment manufacturing, repair/maintenance, on-site assembly and installation, and increasingly detailed engineering services, with no public pricing or tiered model. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales and EU/Bulgarian public procurement tenders, serving clients that include Valmet Technologies OY, Škoda, AES Bulgaria, Contour Global, ENERGO-PRO Varna, LUKOIL, Mondi, Babcock Wilcox, GE, Hitachi, and Siemens. Energoremont Galabovo is a privately held Bulgarian public joint-stock company, not listed on any exchange, controlled through holding company METAKLIK AD, with ultimate ownership held by Dechko Kolev.
