What Arexim Engineering does

Arexim Engineering EAD is a privately held Bulgarian manufacturer of high-precision plastic components and injection mould tooling, headquartered in Smolyan. Founded in 1991 as a small family operation with two injection machines, the company has grown into a 700-person enterprise operating from a single, purpose-built facility in the Smolyan Industrial Zone North, established at its current location in 2004.

The company runs a vertically integrated production model spanning three interconnected divisions: Tool Production (in-house design and manufacture of injection moulds using high-speed milling centres, erosion machines, and scanning equipment), Plastic Production (over 110 injection moulding machines from ENGEL, Krauss Maffei, and Arburg with 28–500 ton clamping forces, including a three-component moulding capability with simultaneous operation of three injection units and a 180-degree rotating table), and Auxiliary Production (assembly, printing, conditioning, and ultrasonic welding). Operations are supported by SAP ERP and a proprietary electronic quality control system called ARQUS, with quality managed under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949 certifications.

Arexim generates revenue primarily through B2B direct sales of custom-manufactured plastic parts and tooling to global automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, with a secondary horizontal segment serving diverse industrial manufacturing applications across over 1,000 different part numbers. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, reflecting the custom engineering nature of the work. The company markets itself through a bilingual corporate website and direct contact channels, holds EcoVadis Bronze status (top 35% globally, 2025), and is a member of the UN Global Compact Bulgarian Network. Alpha Engineering operates as a related entity within the AES Group.
