Sofia Med

What Sofia Med does

Sofia Med AD is a Bulgarian manufacturer of rolled and extruded copper and copper-alloy products, headquartered and operating a single integrated production site in Sofia, Bulgaria. Founded in 1939, the company runs an end-to-end process from foundry through rolling, extrusion, alloying, and finishing, and groups its offering into three product lines: Shapes (rolled and extruded products), Alloys (brass, low-alloy copper, and special alloy strips), and Finishing (post-production services). It serves five application verticals: Industrial, Automotive, Energy, Building, and Deep Drawing. R&D and process engineering are organized around dedicated Quality, Technology & Research, Metallurgy, and Elkeme functions, and an Integrated Operational Excellence System has been deployed across the Copper Segment since 2022.

Sofia Med is a privately held subsidiary of ElvalHalcor S.A., itself part of the VIOHALCO group of non-ferrous metals companies. The group affiliation provides shared procurement, R&D, and pan-European distribution infrastructure, and positions Sofia Med within ElvalHalcor's Copper Segment, the group's rolled and extruded copper franchise. EcoVadis sustainability rating maintenance and the 100% green-finance classification of its January 2026 EBRD loan indicate an explicit ESG positioning oriented toward OEM customers with strict supplier sustainability requirements.

Revenue is generated through B2B sales of semi-finished copper and copper-alloy products to industrial enterprise customers in Europe and the wider EMEA region, distributed via direct sales and the VIOHALCO/ElvalHalcor group network. Pricing is materially tied to LME copper quotes, with contractual structures and unit economics not publicly disclosed. The company employs 501-1,000 people.
