Bulmes: Two Decades of Clean, Honest Meat
What started as a quiet ambition at the turn of the millennium has become a trusted name in Bulgaria's regional meat industry.
A Start with Purpose
Bulmes was founded around 1999–2000, at a time when the market was shifting and new opportunities were emerging. Rather than chasing trends, the founders saw a need for integrity in meat processing—products made without shortcuts, without hidden additives, and without compromise.
That principle still drives the business today.
What They Do
Bulmes specializes in pork, beef, and small ruminants, with a strong focus on processed meats.

If it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for our customers
Built on Values, Not Additives
With a team of about 50, Bulmes operates with a shared belief: if it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for our customers. That mindset shapes every recipe, every product, and every decision.
Growing the Right Way
Over the years, Bulmes has quietly grown without relying on external funding—a rare feat in the industry. Their focus has remained on product quality and regional trust, not rapid expansion.
Past Success
Successfully exported to the UK and Spain
Current Focus

Future Vision
Exploring Western European markets and traditions
What's Next
Looking forward, Bulmes is exploring the tastes and traditions of Western Europe—especially Italy and France. They're currently working with Italian partners to develop new ready-made products tailored for Bulgarian customers, bringing the best of Mediterranean inspiration to the Balkan table.
Bulmes may be a regional company, but their ambition is anything but small. With clean-label products, a philosophy grounded in health, and a track record of integrity, they're proving that honest food still has a powerful place in today's world.
