What Porsche BG does

Porsche BG EOOD (Порше БГ ЕООД) is a Bulgarian private limited liability company established in 2004, operating as the official importer and distributor of Volkswagen Group passenger and light commercial vehicles in Bulgaria. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Porsche Holding Salzburg (Porsche Holding), which in turn is wholly owned by Volkswagen AG; Porsche Holding is described as Europe's largest automotive distributor and operates in 29 countries across three continents. Porsche BG took on Audi import rights in 2005 and today distributes nine Volkswagen Group brands in Bulgaria: Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA, Lamborghini, Bentley, Ducati, and Porsche. The company is headquartered at Business Park Sofia in the Mladost 4 district of Sofia.

The company operates across four business lines: automotive wholesale (brand import and allocation), automotive retail (national dealer network management and aftersales service), financial services through Porsche Bank, and IT systems through Porsche Informatik. Operations are supported by SAP Ariba for centralized procurement and tender management, Porsche Informatik's specialized automotive retail IT stack (dealer management, CRM, vehicle configuration), and a buffer warehouse in Budapest that enables mass model fulfillment within approximately two weeks and daily spare parts delivery. Additional sub-brands include MOON POWER (EV charging infrastructure), Das WeltAuto (certified used vehicles), Sharetoo (car sharing), PIA Camper (camper rentals), and PHS innoVentures (innovation initiatives spanning AI and electric mobility). The entity holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and complies with GDPR.

Porsche BG's go-to-market combines field sales to authorized dealers with direct sales to fleet customers, complemented by brand-specific websites (e.g., volkswagen.bg, audi.bg) and a corporate site (porschebulgaria.bg). Pricing is set through the dealer network based on Volkswagen Group recommended retail prices; specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Customer segments span individual retail consumers, corporate and SME fleet buyers, and authorized B2B dealer partners, with the dealer network acting as the primary enterprise revenue channel.
